Rationale
Rationale: Choice C is correct as it addresses the root cause of the issue by determining why the nurses are not taking breaks. This allows the charge nurse to understand the situation before taking further action. Providing coverage (A) may not solve the underlying problem. Reviewing policies (B) is important but doesn't directly address the current issue. Discussing time management (D) assumes the problem is solely related to time management without investigating further.
