Confusing normative influence (wanting to be liked/accepted) with informational influence (believing the group is right) — both drive conformity but through different mechanisms
COMIC mnemonic for factors that increase Milgram obedience: Closeness of authority, Official/institutional setting, Model obedience from peers, Incremental escalation, Credibility of authority. For bystander effect think DIFFUSE: Diffusion of responsibility, Ignorance (pluralistic), Fewer unique cues, Fear of embarrassment, Uncertain situation, Size of crowd, Everyone waiting.
Clinical framing, safety cues, prioritization patterns, and exam-style rationale for Conformity.
For Conformity, connect the assessment cue to the immediate risk before selecting an action for PN. Start with stability, ABCs, neurologic change, medication risk, infection risk, and scope of practice. Then decide whether the safest next step is assess, intervene, escalate, teach, or evaluate response.

A missed priority in Conformity can delay recognition of deterioration or allow preventable harm to continue. Safety focus: COMIC mnemonic for factors that increase Milgram obedience: Closeness of authority, Official/institutional setting, Model obedience from peers, Incremental escalation, Credibility of authority. For bystander effect think DIFFUSE: Diffusion of responsibility, Ignorance (pluralistic), Fewer unique cues, Fear of embarrassment, Uncertain situation, Size of crowd, Everyone waiting.
In a Conformity item, explain the first cue you noticed, the complication it predicts, the nursing action within scope, and the finding that proves the response worked.
Confusing normative influence (wanting to be liked/accepted) with informational influence (believing the group is right) — both drive conformity but through different mechanisms This keeps Conformity reasoning tied to client safety instead of recall-only studying.
