Chapter 01: Leading, Managing, and Following
Yoder-Wise: Leading and Managing in Nursing, 8th Edition
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 in making 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.
