MULTIPLE CHOICE qq
1. A nurse manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% of the patients are older
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
adults. She is asked to assess and adapt the unit to better meet the unique needs of the
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
older adult patient. Using complexity principles, what would be the best approach to
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
take for implementation of this change?
qq qq qq qq qq qq
a. Leverage the hierarchical management position to get unit staff involved in
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
assessment and planning.
qq qq qq
b. Engage involved staff at all levels in the decision-making process.
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
c. Focus the assessment on the unit and omit the hospital and community environment.
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
d. Hire a geriatric specialist to oversee and control the project.
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
ANS: B qq
Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision making
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
occurs throughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
theory, every voice counts, and therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in decision
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
making.

2. A unit manager of a 25-bed medical/surgical area receives a phone call from a
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
nurse who has called in sick five times in the past month. He tells the manager that
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
he very much wants to
qq qq qq qq qq
come to work when scheduled but must often care for his wife, who is undergoing treatment
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
for breast cancer. According to Maslow‘s need hierarchy theory, what would be the best
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
NURSINGTB.COM approach to satisfying the needs of this nurse, other staff, and qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
patients?
a. Line up agency nurses who can be called in to work on short notice.
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
b. Place the nurse on unpaid leave for the remainder of his wife‘s treatment.

qq this nurse may be calling in frequently in the future.
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq

ANS: D qq
Placing the nurse on unpaid leave may threaten the nurse‘s capacity to meet physiologic
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
needs and demotivate the nurse. Unsatisfactory coverage of shifts on short notice could
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
affect patient care and threaten the needs of staff to feel competent. Arranging the
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
schedule around the wife‘s needs meets the needs of the staff and of patients while
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
satisfying the nurse‘s need for affiliation.

qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
actions unfair, and the unit manager continues to reiterate the reasons for the
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
actions. What would be the best course of action at this time?
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
a. Send the two disputants away to reach their own resolution. qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
b. Involve another staff nurse in the discussion for clarity issues. qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq

4. At a second negotiation session, the unit manager and staff nurse are unable to
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
reach a resolution. What is the appropriate next step?
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq

qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
session, elevation to a manager with additional training to facilitate conflict resolution is
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
important at this point.

have always practiced in a primary nursing-delivery system and are very resistant to this idea.

What would be the best initial strategy for implementation of this change?
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq

a. Exploring the values and feelings of the RN group in relationship to
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
qq this changeqq
b. Leaving the RNs alone for a time so they can think about the change before it
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
is implemented
qq qq
c. Dropping the idea and trying for the change in a year or so when some of
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
the present RNs have retired
qq qq qq qq qq
d. Hiring the assistants and allowing the RNs to see what good additions they are

ANS: A qq
Influencing others requires emotional intelligence in domains such as empathy, handling
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
relationships, deepening self-awareness in self and others, motivating others, and
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
managing emotions. Motivating others recognizes that values are powerful forces that
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
influence acceptance of change. Leaving the RNs alone for a period of time before
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
implementation does not provide opportunity to explore different perspectives and values.
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
Avoiding discussion until the team changes may not promote adoption of the change until
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
there is opportunity to explore perspectives and values related to the change. Hiring of the
qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq qq
assistants demonstrates lack of empathy for the perspectives of the RN staff.
