MULTIPLE CHOICE e
1. A nurse manager of a 20-bed medicalunit finds that 80% ofthe patients are older adults. She is
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
asked to assess and adapt the unit to better meet the unique needs of older adult patients.
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
According to complexity principles, what would be the best approach to take in making this
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
change?
e
a. Leveragethe hierarchical management positiontoget unit staffinvolved in e e e e e e e e e e
assessment and planning.

b. Engage involved staff at all levels in the decision-making process. e e e e e e e e e
c. Focus the assessment onthe unit, and omit the hospitaland community
e e e e e e e e e e e
environment. e
d. Hirea geriatric specialist to oversee and control the project.
e e e e e e e e e
ANS: B e
Complexitytheorysuggeststhat systems interact and adapt and that decision making occurs e e e e e e e e e e e e
throughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity theory,
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
everybody‘s opinion counts; therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in decision making.

e
e e e
e e
e
e e e e e e e e
called in sick five times in the past month. He tells the manager that he very much wants to come
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
to work when scheduled, but must oftencare for his wife, who is undergoing treatment for breast
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
cancer. In the practice of a strengths-based nursing leader, what would be the best approach to
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
satisfying the needs of this nurse, other staff, and patients?
e e e e e e e e e e
a. Line up agency nurses who can be called in to work on short notice.
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
b. Place the nurse on unpaid leave for the remainder of his wife‘s treatment.
e e e e e e e e e e e e
c. Sympathize withthe nurse‘s dilemma and let the charge nurse know that this nurse may e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
be calling in frequently in the future.
e e e e e e e
d. Work with the nurse, staffing office, and other nurses to arrange his scheduled days
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
off around his wife‘s treatments.
e e e e e
ANS: D e
Placing the nurse onunpaid leave maythreaten physiologic needs and demotivatethe nurse.
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
Unsatisfactory coverage of shifts on short notice could affect patient care and threaten staff
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
members‘ sense of competence. Strengths-based nurse leaders honour the uniqueness of
e e e e e e e e e e e
individuals, teams, systems, and organizations; therefore arranging the schedule around the
e e e e e e e e e e e
wife‘s needs would result in a win-win situation, also creating a work environment that promotes
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
the health of all the nurses and facilitates their development.
