,Q1 ANALYZE AND DESIGN EFFECTIVE DAILY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
A hospital unit implements a daily huddle board with metrics for patient flow,
safety events, and staff concerns. After three weeks, the team notices the board is
rarely updated and huddles are canceled. Which combination of factors is most
likely contributing to this failure?
A. Lack of leader standard work and unclear escalation paths CORRECT
B. Excessive focus on long-term improvement projects
C. Insufficient number of metrics on the board
D. Over-reliance on electronic dashboards instead of physical boards
RATIONALE: LDM sustains through leader standard work (LSW) that ensures huddles occur and
boards are updated; unclear escalation reduces engagement. Long-term projects are separate,
more metrics can overwhelm, and electronic dashboards are not inherently detrimental.
Q2 ANALYZE AND DESIGN EFFECTIVE DAILY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
In a Lean Daily Management system, which metric is most appropriate for a
unit-level daily huddle to drive immediate corrective action?
A. Patient satisfaction percentile for the last quarter
B. Number of medication errors per 1,000 doses in the past 30 days
C. Percentage of patients discharged before noon yesterday CORRECT
D. Annual turnover rate of nursing staff
RATIONALE: Daily huddles require near-real-time, actionable metrics. Discharge-before-noon
reflects yesterday's flow and can be acted upon today. Quarterly or annual metrics are too
lagging for daily management.

,Q3 ANALYZE AND DESIGN EFFECTIVE DAILY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
A nurse manager notices a spike in patient falls on a unit. Using the PDCA cycle,
what is the first step after identifying this problem?
A. Implement a new fall prevention protocol
B. Analyze the current process to identify root causes CORRECT
C. Update the huddle board with the fall rate
D. Conduct a staff training session on fall risks
RATIONALE: PDCA begins with Plan: understanding the current state and root causes before
action. Implementing solutions prematurely skips analysis, leading to ineffective
countermeasures.
Q4 ANALYZE AND DESIGN EFFECTIVE DAILY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Which visual management element is most effective for sustaining standardized
work on a nursing unit?
A. A color-coded chart listing daily tasks and their completion status CORRECT
B. A poster displaying the unit's mission statement
C. A bulletin board with monthly staff recognition photos
D. A digital screen showing patient satisfaction scores
RATIONALE: Visual management should make standards and deviations immediately visible. A
task-completion chart supports adherence to standardized work, while the others are motivational
or lagging indicators.

, Q5 ANALYZE AND DESIGN EFFECTIVE DAILY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
A lean team is designing a new daily management board for a surgical unit. Which
combination of elements is essential for an effective board?
A. Metrics, action items, and a section for staff ideas CORRECT
B. Patient names, staff assignments, and financial data
C. Long-term project timelines, budget reports, and HR policies
D. Historical data, research articles, and meeting minutes
RATIONALE: Effective boards focus on daily performance (metrics), current issues (action
items), and employee engagement (ideas). Patient names raise privacy issues; long-term and
historical data are not daily actionable.
Q6 ANALYZE AND DESIGN EFFECTIVE DAILY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
A unit manager is leading a daily huddle when a staff member raises a recurring
equipment shortage. What is the manager's most appropriate immediate
response?
A. Assign the staff member to solve the problem independently
B. Add the issue to the action log and assign an owner with a due date CORRECT
C. Discuss the issue in depth during the huddle to find a root cause
D. Defer the issue to the monthly staff meeting
RATIONALE: Huddles are for awareness and assignment, not in-depth problem-solving. Logging
the issue and assigning ownership ensures follow-up without derailing the huddle. Deferring
loses urgency; independent solving may lack support.
