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
inassessment 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
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
occursthroughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity
theory, everybody’s opinion counts; therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in
decision making.
