multiple choice
1. a nurse manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% of the patients
are older adults. she is asked to assess and adapt the unit to better meet the
unique needs of the older adult patient. using complexity principles, what would
be the best approach to take for implementation of this change?
a. leverage the hierarchical management position to get unit staff involved
in assessment and planning.
b. engage involved staff at all levels in the decision- making process.
c. focus the assessment on the unit and omit the hospital and community
environment.
d. hire a geriatric specialist to oversee and control the project.
ans: b
complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision
making occurs throughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy.
in complexity theory, every voice counts, and therefore, all levels of staff would
be involved in decision making.
top: aone competency: communication and relationship-building
2. a unit manager of a 25-bed medical/surgical area receives a phone call
from a nurse who has called in sick five times in the past month. he tells the
manager that he very much wants to come to work when scheduled but must
often care for his wife, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
according to maslow‘s need hierarchy theory, what would be the best approach
to satisfying the needs of this nurse, other staff, and patients?
a. line up agency nurses who can be called in to work on short notice.
b. place the nurse on unpaid leave for the remainder of his wife‘s treatment.
