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

ANS: B i v


Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision making occurs
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv


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

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

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

heduled but must often care for his wife, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Acc

ording to Maslow‘s need hierarchy theory, what would be the best approach to satisfying th

e needs of this nurse, other staff, and patients?

c. Sympathize with the nurse‘s dilemma and let the charge nurse know that this nurse iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv


may be calling in frequently in the future.iv iv iv iv iv iv i v


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


days off around his wife‘s treatments.

ANS: D i v


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


and demotivate the nurse. Unsatisfactory coverage of shifts on short notice could affect patie
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv


nt care and threaten the needs of staff to feel competent. Arranging the schedule around the
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv


wife‘s needs meets the needs of the staff and of patients while satisfying the nurse‘s need for
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv


affiliation.

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


sistants or unlicensed persons to feed, bathe, and ambulate patients. The RNs on the staff ha
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv


ve always practiced in a primary nursing-
iv iv iv iv iv iv


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


implementation of this change? iv iv iv


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


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


implemented

ANS: A iv


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


ionships, deepening self- iv iv


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

cognizes that values are powerful forces that influence acceptance of change. Leaving the RN
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv


s alone for a period of time before implementation does not provide opportunity to explore dif
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv


ferent perspectives and values. Avoiding discussion until the team changes may not promote

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

vthe change. Hiring of the assistants demonstrates lack of empathy for the perspectives of the

RN staff. iv
