MULTIPLE CHOICE ap




1. A nurse manager of a 20-
ap ap ap ap ap



bed medical unit finds that 80% of the patients are older adults. She is asked to assess and ada
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



pt the unit to better meet the unique needs of the older adult patient. Using complexity principl
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



es, what would be the best approach to take for implementation of this change?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



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



ssessment and planning. ap ap



b. Engage involved staff at all levels in the decision-making process. ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



c. Focus the assessment on the unit and omit the hospital and community e
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



nvironment.
d. Hire a geriatric specialist to oversee and control the project.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: B a p



Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision making occurs t
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



hroughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity theory, every v
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



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

2. A unit manager of a 25-
ap ap ap ap ap



bed medical/surgical area receives a phone call from a nurse whohas called in sick five times
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



in the past month. He tells the manager that he very much wants to come to work when sche
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



duled but must often care for his wife, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Accord
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ing to Maslow‘s need hierarchy theory, what would be the best approach to satisfying the ne
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



eds of this nurse, other staff, and patients?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



a. Line up agency nurses who can be called in to work on short notice.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



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



c. Sympathize with the nurse‘s dilemma and let the charge nurse know that thisnurse ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



may be calling in frequently in the future. ap ap ap ap ap ap a p



d. Work with the nurse, staffing office, and other nurses to arrange hisscheduled
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



days off around his wife‘s treatments. ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: D a p



Placing the nurse on unpaid leave may threaten the nurse‘s capacity to meet physiologic needs a
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



nd demotivate the nurse. Unsatisfactory coverage of shifts on short notice could affect patient
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



care and threaten the needs of staff to feel competent. Arranging the schedule around the wife
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



‘s needs meets the needs of the staff and of patients while satisfying the nurse‘s need for affili
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ation.

3. A grievance brought by a staff nurse against the unit manager requires mediation. At the first
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



mediation session, the staff nurse repeatedly calls the unit manager‘s actions unfair, and the
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



unit manager continues to reiterate the reasons for the actions. What would be the best course o
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



f action at this time?
ap ap ap ap



a. Send the two disputants away to reach their own resolution.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



b. Involve another staff nurse in the discussion for clarity issues. ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap

, c. Ask each party to examine their own motives and issues in the conflict.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



d. Continue to listen as the parties repeat their thoughts and feelings aboutthe c
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



onflict.
ANS: C ap



For resolution of conflict, one should address the interests and involvement of participants in th
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



e conflict by examining the real issues of all parties.

4. At a second negotiation session, the unit manager and staff nurse are unable to reach a r
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



esolution. What is the appropriate next step? ap ap ap ap ap a p



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



b. Elevate the next negation session to the next manager, one level above.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



c. Insist that participants continue to talk until a resolution has been reached.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



d. Back the unit manager‘s actions and end the dispute.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: B ap



Part of leadership is understanding conflict resolution and ability to negotiate and manage for re
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



solution of issues and concerns. This situation has failed a second negotiation session, elevati
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



on to a manager with additional training to facilitate conflict resolution is important at this poi

5. The manager of a surgical area has a vision for the future that requires the addition of RN assi
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



stants or unlicensed persons to feed, bathe, and ambulate patients. The RNs on the staff have
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



always practiced in a primary nursing-
ap ap ap ap ap



delivery system and are very resistant to this idea. What would be the best initial strategy for i
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



mplementation of this change? ap ap ap



a. Exploring the values and feelings of the RN group in relationship to this change ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



b. Leaving the RNs alone for a time so they can think about the change before it is i
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



mplemented
c. Dropping the idea and trying for the change in a year or so when some of the p ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



resent RNs have retired ap ap ap



d. Hiring the assistants and allowing the RNs to see what good additions they are
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: A ap



Influencing others requires emotional intelligence in domains such as empathy, handling relat
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ionships, deepening self- ap ap



awareness in self and others, motivating others, and managing emotions. Motivating others re
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



cognizes that values are powerful forces that influence acceptance of change. Leaving the RNs
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap a



alone for a period of time before implementation does not provide opportunity to explore diffe
p ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



rent perspectives and values. Avoiding discussion until the team changes may not promote ad
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



option of the change until there is opportunity to explore perspectives and values related to the
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



change. Hiring of the assistants demonstrates lack of empathy for the perspectives of the RN
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



staff.

, 6. As the RN charge nurse on the night shift in a small long-
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



term care facility, you‘ve found that there is little turnover among your LPN and nursing assis
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



tant (NA) staff members, but they are not very motivated to go beyond their job descriptions
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



in their work. Which of the following strategies might motivate the staff and lead to greater j
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ob satisfaction?
ap



a. Ask the director of nursing to offer higher wages and bonuses for extra work for t
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



he night LPNs and NAs. ap ap ap ap



b. Allow the LPNs and NAs greater decision- ap ap ap ap ap ap



making power within the scope of their positions in the institution.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



c. Hire additional staff so that there are more staff available for enhanced care,and i
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ndividual workloads are lessened. ap ap ap



d. Ask the director of nursing to increase job security for night staff by having them s
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ign contracts that guarantee work.ap ap ap ap




ANS: B ap



Hygiene factors such as salary, working conditions, and security are consistent with Herzberg‘
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



s two-
ap



factor theory of motivation; meeting these needs avoids job dissatisfaction. Motivator factors s
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



uch as recognition and satisfaction with work promote a satisfying and enriched work environ
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ment. Transformational leaders use motivator factors liberally to inspire work performance and
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



increase job satisfaction. ap ap

7. The nurse manager wants to increase motivation by providing motivating factors for thenurse
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



on the unit. What action would be appropriate to motivate the staff?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



a. Collaborate with the human resource/personnel department to develop on- ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



site daycare services. ap ap



b. Provide a hierarchical organizational structure. ap ap ap ap



c. Implement a model of shared governance. ap ap ap ap ap



d. Promote the development of a flexible benefits package. ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: C ap



Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision making occurs thr
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



oughout systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity theory, every voice c
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ounts, and therefore all levels of staff would be involved in decision making. This principle is
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



the foundation of shared governance.

8. The nurse manager has been asked to implement an evidence-
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



based approach to teach ostomy patients self-
ap ap ap ap ap ap



management skills postoperatively. The program is to be implemented across the entire facilit
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



y. What illustrates effective leadership in this situation?
ap ap ap ap ap ap a p



a. The training modules are left in the staff room for times when staff are available.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



b. The current approach is continued because it is also evidence-
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



based and is more familiar to staff. ap ap ap ap ap ap



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



RNs that the new approach takes too much time.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



d. An RN who is already familiar with the new approach of volunteers to take the l

ead in mentoring and teaching others how to implement it.
