MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% of the patients are older
adults. Sheis 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?
a. Leverage the hierarchical management position to get unit staff
involved in assessment and planning.
Qg
b. Engage involved staff at all levels in the decision-making process.
c. Focus the assessment on the unit, and omit the hospital and
communityenvironment.
d. Hire a geriatric specialist to oversee and control the project.
ANSWER: 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
Qg
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 treatmentfor 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 nursemay be calling in frequently in the future.
d. Work with the nurse, staffing office, and other nurses to arrange his
scheduleddays off around his wife’s treatments.
ANSWER: 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
Qg
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.
