Adults. She Is Asked To Assess And Adapt The Unit To Better Meet The Unique Needs Of
Older Adult Patients. According To Complexity Principles, What Would Be The Best
Approach To Take In Making This Change?

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.

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, Everybody’s Opinion Counts; Therefore, All Levels Of Staff Would Be
Involved In Decision Making.

2. A Unit Manager Of A 25-Bed U S N T Area
Medical/Surgical O 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. In The Practice Of A Strengths-Based Nursing
Leader, 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.
c. Sympathize With The Nurse’s Dilemma And Let The Charge Nurse Know That
This Nurse May Be Calling In Frequently In The Future.
d. Work With The Nurse, Staffing Office, And Other Nurses To Arrange His
Scheduled Days Off Around His Wife’s Treatments.
Ans: D
Placing The Nurse On Unpaid Leave May Threaten Physiologic Needs And Demotivate The
Nurse. Unsatisfactory Coverage Of Shifts On Short Notice Could Affect Patient Care And
Threaten Staff Members’ Sense Of Competence. Strengths-Based Nurse Leaders Honour
The Uniqueness Of Individuals, Teams, Systems, And Organizations; Therefore Arranging
The Schedule Around The Wife’s Needs Would Result In A Win-Win Situation, Also
Creating A Work Environment That Promotes The Health Of All The Nurses And
Facilitates Their Development.

b. Involve Another Staff Nurse In The Discussion So As To Clarify Issues.
c. Ask Each Party To Examine Her Own Motives And Issues In The Conflict.
d. Continue To Listen As The Parties Repeat Their Thoughts And Feelings
About The Conflict.
Ans: C
Nurses And Leaders Must Assess Each Situation As Unique, Determining Appropriate
Actions Accordingly. Leaders Must Adapt Their Styles To Complement Specific Issues
Being Faced, Such As Conflict. Examining Motives And Issues For The Conflict In
Perceptions Promotes Equal Representation Of Each Point Of View.

Able To Hear Her Baby’s Heartbeat On The Monitor Anymore. Although The Monitor
Volume Had Been Turned Off So That The Patient Would Be Able To Sleep Between
Contractions, The Nurse Responded That There Was No Heartbeat To Hear Because The
Baby Had Died In Utero; Then The Nurse Asked Whether The Patient Would Like To Talk
About How She Was Feeling. This Response Demonstrates:
a. Lack Of Empathy.

c. Complexity Science. Verified-Test Bank

Registered Nurse (Rn) Assistants Or Unlicensed Persons To Feed, Bathe, And Walk Patients.

b. Leaving The Rns Alone For A Time So They Can Think About The Change
Before They Are Approached Again.
c. Dropping The Idea And Trying For The Change In Another Year Or So.
d. Hiring The Assistants And Allowing The Rns To See What Good Additions They Are.
