dapt the unit to better meet the unique needs of the older adult patient. Using complexity pr

inciples, what would be the best approach to take for implementation of this change?
Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq

Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq

ANS: B Wq




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
Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq Wq




voice counts, and therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in decision making.
