UNIT I The Critical Triad: Decision Making, Management,
And Leadership
Chapter 1: Decision Making, Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, And
Clinical Reasoning: Requisites For Successful Leadership And
Management
1. A Nurse Is Applying A Decision-Making Process To A Clinical Challenge. When Applying This
Process, The Nurse Must:
A. Analyze The Root Causes Of A Situation.
B. Begin By Solving The Underlying Problem.
C. Choose Between Different Courses Of Action.
D. Prioritize The Maximum Good For The Maximum Number Of People.
CORRECT ANS: C
RATIONALE: Decision Making Is A Complex, Cognitive Process Often Defined As Choosing A
Particular Course Of Action. Problem Solving Is Part Of Decision Making And Is A Systematic
Process That Focuses On Analyzing A Difficult Situation. It Is Not Always Realistic For The Nurse
To Solve Each Of The Problems Contributing To A Larger Challenge, Especially At The Beginning
Of The Decision-Making Process. The Nurse Often Lacks The Time, Information, Or Resources To
Analyze The Root Causes Of A Situation. Many Times, The Nurse Makes A Decision That Benefits
The Largest Number Of People, But This Is Not Always Feasible Or Desirable.
2. A Nurse Is Applying The Traditional Problem-Solving Model When Mediating A Conflict
Between Two Colleagues. When Applying This Model, The Nurse Should Prioritize What Task?
, A. Identifying The Root Cause Of The Conflict
B. Implementing A Solution As Quickly As Possible
C. Eliciting Input From Other Nurses
D. Encouraging Each Nurse To Reflect On Their Actions
CORRECT ANS: A
RATIONALE: The Traditional Problem-Solving Model Attempts To Identify The Root Problem In
Situations, A Task That Requires Much Time And Energy. Efficiency Is Desirable, But Trying To
Implement A Solution As Quickly As Possible Can Result In A Hasty And Incorrect Solution.
Outside Input May Or May Not Be Necessary; This Varies With Each Individual Problem.
Reflective Thinking Is Always Beneficial, But This Is Not A Specific Component Of The Traditional
Problem-Solving Model.
3. Which Statement Is True Regarding Decision Making?
A. Scientific Methods Provide Identical Decisions By Different Individuals For The Same
Problems.
B. Decisions Are Greatly Influenced By Each Person's Value System.
C. Personal Beliefs Can Be Adjusted For When The Scientific Approach To Problem Solving Is
Used.
D. Past Experience Has Little To Do With The Quality Of The Decision.
CORRECT ANS: B
RATIONALE: Values, Life Experience, Individual Preference, And Individual Ways Of Thinking Will
Influence A Person's Decision Making. No Matter How Objective The Criteria Will Be, Value
Judgments Will Always Play A Part In A Person's Decision Making, Either Consciously Or
Subconsciously. It Is Not Possible For A Nurse To Fully "Set Aside" Personal Beliefs When Making
A Decision, Even If The Nurse Applies The Principles Of Self-Reflection.
