!! to better meet the unique needs of the older adult patient.Using
!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !
!! complexity principles, what would be the best approach to take !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
!! for implementation of this change?

!! unit staff involved inassessment and planning.
!! !! !! ! !! !!

!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
c. Focus the assessment on the unit and omit the
!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
!! hospital and communityenvironment. !! !! !
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 occursthroughout the systems, as opposed to
!! !! !! ! !! !! !! !! !!
!! being held in a hierarchy. In complexity theory, everyvoice counts,

for breast cancer. According toUMaSslow

erarchy theory, 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.

!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
!! treatment.
c. Sympathize with the nurse’s dilemma and let the charge nurse know !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

may be calling in 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 !!
Placing the nurse on unpaid leave may threaten the nurse’s capacity
!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
!! to meet physiologic needsand demotivate the nurse. Unsatisfactory
!! !! !! ! !! !! !! !!
!! coverage of shifts on short notice could affect patient care and
!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
!! threaten the needs of staff to feel competent. Arranging the
!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
!! schedule around !!
the wife’s needs meets the needs of the staff and of patients while
