MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% of the patients are older adults. She is
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.
b. Engage involved staff at all levels in the decision-making process.
c. Focus the assessment on the unit, and omit the hospital and community environment.
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 occurs throughout
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.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply REF: Page 14 TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation
2. A unit manager of a 25-bed medical/surgical area 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 treatment for 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 nurse 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 physiologic needs and demotivate the nurse.
Unsatisfactory coverage of shifts on short notice could affect patient care and threaten staff members’
Te
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
