MULTIPLE CHOICE i o




1. A nurse manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% of the patients are older adults. She is
io io io io io io io io io io io io io i o io io io i o




asked to assess and adapt the unit to better meet the unique needs of the older
i o i o i o i o i o i o i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




adult patient. Using complexity principles, what would be the best approach to take for
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




implementation of this change?
io i o i o i o




a. Leverage the hierarchical management position to get unit staff involved in io io io io io io io io io io




assessment and planning. i o i o i o




b. Engage involved staff at all levels in the decision-making process. io i o i o i o i o i o H i o i o i o




c. Focus the assessment on the unit and omit the hospital and community io io io io io io io io io io io




environment. io




d. Hire a geriatric specialist to oversee and control the project. io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




HH: B
Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o H io




throughout , as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




voice , and therefore, all levels of staff would be H io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o

2. A unit manager of a 25-bed medical/surgical area receives a phone call from a nurse
io i o i o io i o i o i o i o i o io i o i o i o io




whohas called in sick five times in the past month. He tells the manager that he
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




ivery much wants to come to work when scheduled but must often care for his
o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o H i o i o i o i o




iwife, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. According to Maslow‘s need
o i o i o io io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




ihierarchy theory, what would be the best approach to satisfying the needs of this
o io io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




inurse, other staff, and patients?
o i o i o i o io




a. Line up agencynurses who can be called in to work on short notice. i o i o io i o i o i o i o i o io i o io H i o i o




b. Place the nurse on unpaid leave for the remainder of his wife‘s treatment. io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




c. Sympathize with the nurse‘s dilemma and let the charge nurse know that io io io io io io H i o io io io io




thisnurse may be calling in frequently in the future.
io i o io i o i o i o i o i o




d. Work with the nurse, staffing office, and other nurses to arrange io io io io io i o io io i o io




hisscheduled days off around his wife‘s treatments.
io i o i o i o i o i o i o




HH: D
Placing the nurse on unpaid leave maythreaten the nurse‘s capacity to meet physiologic needs and io io io io io io io io io io io io io io i o




demotivate the nurse. Unsatisfactory coverage of shifts on short notice could affect
i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o io




patient care and threaten the needs of staff to feel competent. Arranging the
i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




schedule around the wife‘s needs meets the needs of the staff and of patients
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




while satisfying the nurse‘s need for affiliation.

3. A grievance brought bya staff nurse against the unit manager requires mediation. Atthe
io io i o io i o io io i o i o H io i o i o i o io




first mediation session, the staff nurse repeatedly calls the unit manager‘s actions
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




unfair, and the unit manager continues to reiterate the reasons for the actions. What
io i o i o i o H i o io io i o io io i o io io io




wouldbe the best course of action at this time?
io io io io io i o i o i o i o i o




a. Send the two disputants awayto reach their own resolution. H i o i o i o i o io i o i o i o io




b. Involve another staff nurse in the discussion for clarity issues. i o i o i o i o io i o i o i o i o

, c. Ask each partyto examine their own motives and issues in the conflict. i o i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




d. Continueto listen as the parties repeat their thoughts and feelings io io io io io H i o io io io io




io aboutt he conflict. H i o i o




HH: C io




For resolution of conflict, one should address the interests and involvement of participants in
io io io io io io io io io H i o io io io




the conflict by examining the real issues of all parties.

4. At a second negotiation session, the unitmanager and staff nurse are unable to reach
io io io io io io io io H i o io io io io io




io a resolution. What is the appropriate next
i o step? i o i o i o i o i o




a. Arrange another meeting in a week‘s time so as to allow a cooling-off period. H i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




b. Elevate the next negation session to the next manager, one level above. io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




c. Insist that participants continue to talk until a resolution has beenreached. i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o io




d. Back the unit manager‘s actions and end the dispute. i o i o io i o io i o i o i o




HH: B io




Part of leadership is understanding conflict resolution and abilityto negotiate and manage
io io i o i o io i o i o i o io i o i o i o




for resolution of issues and concerns. This situation has failed a second
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




negotiation session, elevation to a manager with additional training to facilitate
i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




conflict resolution is important at this point.

5. The manager of a surgical area has a vision for the future that requires the
i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




addition of RN assistants or unlicensed persons to feed, bathe, and ambulate
i o i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




patients. The RNs on the staff have always practiced in a primarynursing-delivery system
i o i o i o i o io i o i o io io i o io io io io




and are veryresistant to this idea. What would be the best initial strategy for
io i o io io io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




implementation of this change?
i o i o i o i o




a. Exploring the values and feelings of the RN group in relationship to thischange H io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o io i o i o io




b. Leaving the RNs alone for a time so theycan think about the change before it is io io io i o io io io io io io i o i o io io io H i o




implemented i o




c. Dropping the idea and trying for the change in a year or so when some of the io io io io H i o io io io io i o io io io H i o io io




present RNs have retired i o i o i o i o




d. Hiring the assistants and allowing the RNs to see what good additions they are io i o i o i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




HH: A io




Influencing others requires emotional intelligence in domains such as empathy, i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




ihandling relationships, deepening self-awareness in self and others, motivating
o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




iothers, and managing emotions. Motivating others recognizes that values are
o i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




ipowerful forces that influence acceptance of change. Leaving the RNs alone for a period of
o i o i o io i o io io i o io io io io io io io




time before implementation does not provide opportunity to explore different
io io io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




iperspectives and values. Avoiding discussion until the team changes may not
o i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




ipromote adoption of the change until there is opportunity to explore perspectives
o i o i o i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




iand values related to the change. Hiring of the assistants demonstrates lack of
o i o i o i o i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




iempathy for the perspectives of the RN staff.

, 6. As the RN charge nurse on the night shift in a small long-term care facility, you‘ve found that
io io io io io io io io H i o H i o io io io io i o io io




there is little turnover among your LPN and nursing assistant (NA) staff members,
i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




but they are not very motivated to go beyond their job descriptions in their
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




work. Which of the following strategies might motivate the staff and lead to
i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




greater job satisfaction?
i o i o io




a. Ask the director of nursingto offer higher wages and bonuses for extra work for io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




the night LPNs and NAs. i o i o i o i o i o




b. Allow the LPNs and NAs greater decision-makingpower within thescope of their io io io io io io io io io io io io




positions in the institution. i o i o i o i o




c. Hire additional staff so that there are more staff available for enhanced H i o io io io io io io io io io io




care,and individual workloads are lessened. io i o i o i o i o




d. Ask the director of nursing to increase job security for night staff byhaving them io io io io H i o io io io io io io io io io




sign contracts that guarantee work. i o i o i o i o i o




HH: B io




Hygiene factors such as salary, working conditions, and security are consistent with i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




Herzberg‘s two-factor theory of motivation; meeting these needs avoids job
io H HHH HHH HHH HHH i o i o i o i o i o




dissatisfaction. Motivator factors such as recognition and satisfaction with work
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




promote a satisfying and enriched work environment. Tr HHformational leaders use
i o io i o i o i o io io io io io io




motivator factors liberallyto inspire work performance and increase job satisfaction.

7. The nurse manager wants to increase motivation by providing motivating factors for
io io io i o io i o io io io io io




thenurse on the unit. What action would be appropriate to motivate the
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




staff? i o




a. Collaborate with the humanresource/personnel department to develop on- site io io io io io io io io io




daycare services. i o i o




b. Providea hierarchical organizational structure. io io i o io




c. Implement a model of shared governance. i o i o i o i o i o




d. Promote the development of a flexible benefits package. i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




HH: C io




Complexitytheorysuggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision making occurs io io io H i o io i o io io io io io H i o




throughout systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




theory, every voice counts, and therefore all levels of staff would be involved in
i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




decision making. This principle is the foundation of shared governance.

8. The nurse manager has been asked to implement an evidence-based approach to teach
io io i o i o i o i o i o io i o i o i o i o




ostomy patients self-management skills postoperatively. The program is to be
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




implemented across the entire facility. What illustrates effective leadership in this
io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




situation?
io




a. The training modules are left in the staff room for times when staff are available. io H i o i o i o H i o io i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




b. The current approach iscontinued because itis also evidence-based and is more io io io io io io io io io io io io




familiar to staff. i o i o i o




c. You decide to implement the approach at a later date because of feedback from the io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




RNs that the new approach takes too much time.
i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o i o




d. An RN who is alreadyfamiliar with the new approach of volunteers to take the io io io H io io io io io io io io io io io




lead in mentoring and teaching others how to implement it.
