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 ad apt the unit to better meet the unique needs of older adult
patients. Accordingj5to complexity principles, what would be the best approach to take in
makingj5this change?
a. Leverage the hierarchical managementj5position to get unit staff involvedj5in
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 t
hroughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity theory, every
body‘s opinion counts; therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in decision making.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply
REF: Page 14 TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation
2. A unit manager of a 25-bedj5medical/surgical area 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 callingj5in 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
Placingj5the 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 arrangingj5the 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 an d
facilitates their development.
