MULTIPLE CHOICE gh




1. A RN manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% of the clients are older adults. She is asked
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh to assess and adapt the unit to better meet the unique needs of the older adult client. Using
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh complexity principles, what would be the best approach to take in making this change?
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




a. Leverage the hierarchical management position to get unit staff involved in assessment and
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




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




c. Focus the assessment on the unit, and omit the hospital and community environment.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




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




CORRECT ANS: B gh gh




Feedback: Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decisiongh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




making occurs throughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




theory, every voice counts, and therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in decision
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




making.

2. A unit manager of a 25-bed medical/surgical area receives a phone call from a RN who has called
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh in sick five times in the past month. He tells the manager that he very much wants to come to work
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh when scheduled but must often care for his wife, who is undergoing treatment
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




for breast cancer. According to Maslow’s need hierarchy theory, what would be the best
approach to satisfying
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh


gh gh




the needs of this RN, other staff, and clients?
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh


gh




a. Line up agency RNs who can be called in to work on short notice.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




b. Place the RN on unpaid leave for the remainder of his wife’s treatment.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




c. Sympathize with the RN’s dilemma and let the charge RN know that this RN may be calling gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




in frequently in the future.
gh gh gh gh gh




d. Work with the RN, staffing office, and other RNs to arrange his scheduled days off around
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




his wife’s treatments.
gh gh gh




CORRECT ANS: D gh gh




Feedback: Placing the RN on unpaid leave may threaten the RN’s capacity to meet physiologic
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




needs and demotivate the RN. Unsatisfactory coverage of shifts on short notice could affect
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




client care and threaten the needs of staff to feel competent. Arranging the schedule around the
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




wife’s needs meets the needs of the staff and of clients while satisfying the RN’s need for
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




affiliation.

,3. A grievance brought by a staff RN against the unit manager requires mediation. At the first
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh mediation session, the staff RN repeatedly calls the unit manager’s actions unfair, and the unit
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh manager continues to reiterate the reasons for her actions. What would be the best course of
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh action at this time? gh gh gh




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




b. Involve another staff RN in the discussion so as to clarify issues. gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




c. Ask each party to examine her own motives and issues in the conflict.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




d. Continue to listen as the parties repeat their thoughts and feelings about the conflict. gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




CORRECT ANS: C gh gh




Feedback: Ury, Brett, and Goldberg outline steps to restoring unity, the first of which is to
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




address the interests and involvement of participants in the conflict by examining the real
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




issues of all parties.

4. At a second negotiation session, the unit manager and staff RN are unable to reach a resolution. It
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh would now be best to: gh gh gh gh




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




b. Turn the dispute over to the director of nursing. gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




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




d. Back the unit manager’s actions and end the dispute. gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




CORRECT ANS: B gh gh




Feedback: According to the principles outlined by Ury, Brett, and Goldberg, a “cooling-off”
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




period is recommended if resolution fails.

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




gh assistants or unlicensed persons to feed, bathe, and walk clients. The RNs on the staff have
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh always practiced in a primary nursing–delivery system and are very resistant to this idea. The
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh best initial strategy in this situation would include:
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




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




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




gh implemented.
c. Dropping the idea and trying for the change in a year or so when some of the present RNs gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh have retired. gh




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

, CORRECT ANS: A gh gh




Feedback: Influencing others requires emotional intelligence in domains such as empathy,
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




handling relationships, deepening self-awareness in self and others, motivating others, and
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




managing emotions. Motivating others recognizes that values are powerful forces that
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




influence acceptance of change. Leaving the RNs alone for a period of time before
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




implementation does not provide opportunity to explore different perspectives and values.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




Avoiding discussion until the team changes may not promote adoption of the change until there is
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




opportunity to explore perspectives and values related to the change. Hiring of the assistants
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




demonstrates lack of empathy for the perspectives of the RN staff.

6. As the RN charge RN on the night shift in a small long-term care facility, you’ve found that
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh there is little turnover among your LPN and nursing assistant (NA) staff members, but they are
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh not very motivated to go beyond their job descriptions in their work. Which of the following
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh strategies might motivate the staff and lead to greater job satisfaction?
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




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




LPNs and NAs. gh gh gh




b. Allow the LPNs and NAs greater decision-making power within the scope of their
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




positions in the institution.
gh gh gh gh




c. Hire additional staff so that there are more staff available for enhanced care and individual
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




workloads are lessened.
gh gh gh




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




contracts that guarantee work.
gh gh gh gh




CORRECT ANS: B gh gh




Feedback: Hygiene factors such as salary, working conditions, and security are consistent with
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




Herzberg’s two-factor theory of motivation; meeting these needs avoids job dissatisfaction.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




Motivator factors such as recognition and satisfaction with work promote a satisfying and
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




enriched work environment. Transformational leaders use motivator factors liberally to inspire
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




work performance and increase job satisfaction.

7. As the RN manager who wants to increase motivation by providing motivating factors, which
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




gh action would you select?
gh gh gh




a. Collaborate with the human resource/personnel department to develop on-site daycare gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




services. gh




b. Provide a hierarchical organizational structure. gh gh gh gh




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




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