1 Introducing Nursing Management
v v v v




1) A nurse manager is participating in the healthcare organization's strategic planning
v v v v v v v v v v



committee. Which factor is the primary driving force and controlling factor in new initiatives
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



this committee might recommend?
v v v v



1. Cost of care v v



2. Access to care v v



3. Availability of care v v



4. Quality of care v v



Answer: 1
v v



Explanation: 1. While all of the options given are driving forces in today's healthcare
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



environment, the cost of providing care is still the primary issue. Cost of care controls access,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



availability, and quality.
v v v



2. Access to care is controlled by the ability to pay.
v v v v v v v v v



3. Care will not be available if it cannot be funded.
v v v v v v v v v



4. Healthcare providers do not like to correlate quality with cost, but the economic reality is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



that quality care must also be funded care.

3) A 70-year-old client develops a catheter-induced urinary tract infection. Which statement
v v v v v v v v v v



by the nurse would indicate to the nurse manager a need for additional understanding of this
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



situation?
v



1. "I wonder if there was a break of sterility when this catheter was inserted."
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



2. "Thankfully we can treat this with an antibiotic." v v v v v v v



3. "This could potentially cost the hospital a lot of money."
v v v v v v v v v



4. "I will talk to my unlicensed assistants about proper urinary catheter care."
v v v v v v v v v v v



Answer: 2
v v



Explanation: 1. Wondering about a break in sterility indicates that the nurse is concerned about
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



the process that might have contributed to this infection.
v v v v v v v v v



2. The nurse who focuses on taking care of the results of a potential medical mistake is not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



accepting the seriousness of the situation.
v v v v v v



3. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services no longer cover the costs incurred by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v



medical mistakes. This urinary tract infection could cost the hospital the cost of treatment,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



including increased length of stay.
v v v v v



4. The nurse has identified that improper care may result in poor outcomes for the client.
