Within the past month, there has been a change in the nursing documentation requirements at the hospital. The nurses have been trained in the new requirements and are documenting as requested, with the exception of one nurse. This nurse has been unable to attend any of the documentation in-service meetings and has been too busy to attend a private training session with the nurse manager. Meanwhile, she continues to use the old documentation process. What do the nurses actions illustrate? 1) Unfreezing 2) Active resistance 3) Passive resistance 4) Comfort zone ANS: 3 Passive resistance behaviors include avoidance; canceling appointments to discuss implementing change; being too busy to make the change; agreeing to the change but doing nothing to change; and simply ignoring the entire process as much as possible. In the above situation, the nurse is not actively refusing to comply with the new documentation requirements; however, her actions are a passive approach to resisting change. When a person knows what to expect and how to deal with whatever problems arise in the course of a day, that person is operating within her comfort zone. The first stage in the change process is when the person begins moving out of the comfort zone, unfreezing. This nurse is resisting, not unfreezing.

The surgical unit is experiencing difficulty recruiting new RNs, although the hospital has an excellent reputation in the community and has no difficulty recruiting nurses for other units. A task force has been formed, consisting of one nurse from each shift on the unit, the unit manager, and the hospital nurse recruiter. The group has gathered data and identified the problem. What is the next step in this process? 1) Generate possible solutions. 2) Evaluate whether the problem has been resolved. 3) Implement the solution changes. 4) Evaluate suggested solutions. ANS: 1 The next step in the process is to generate possible solutions. Once several possibilities have been identified, each of the suggested solutions should be evaluated. From among that list, the best solution is chosen and then implemented. Finally, the task force critiques the process by evaluating whether the problem has been resolved. PTS:1DIFifficultREF:pp. 15-16 KEY: Nursing process: Planning | Client need: SECE | Cognitive level: Application 7. A nurse with 2 years experience frequently appears stressed and has difficulty completing his work. He is clocking out 30 to 45 minutes late every day, even when his assignment load is light. The charge nurse describes his problem as running from one duty to the next and having no organization or daily routine. Which situation most likely describes this nurse? 1) Has time management problems 2) Has a heavy patient load 3) Works at a hospital that is understaffed 4) Is in a management position ANS: 1 This nurse most likely has trouble managing his time. Time management entails setting your own goals and organizing your work. Although there will be difficult days, the nurse who consistently finishes late and has no organization to his daily schedule has a problem managing time. Time management includes efficiently meeting clients care needs during a nursing shift and organizing ones workload. PTS:1DIF:EasyREF:pp. 16-17 KEY: Nursing process: Interventions | Client need: SECE | Cognitive level: Analysis 8. An expert nurse feels confident in her role as a clinician on the unit. The nurse enjoys her work and feels in charge of her career. Which leadership state is she experiencing? 1) Power-based authority 2) Effective management skills 3) Empowerment in her role 4) Followership skills ANS: 3 Empowerment is a psychological state, a feeling of competence, control, and entitlement that a person experiences. Empowerment refers to feelings, whereas power refers to action. The person who feels empowered has feelings of self-determination, meaning, competence, and impact. This nurse may have power on the unit because of her expertise, but there is no evidence that she is an authority figure. Empowerment is not always associated with management. Managers have authority by virtue of their position but do not always thrive in that role. There is not enough information in the scenario to judge the nurses followership skills. PTS:1DIFifficultREF:p. 10 KEY: Nursing process: N/A | Client need: SECE | Cognitive level: Application 9. The physical therapy department and the nursing department at a local rehabilitation hospital are in conflict over which department is responsible for transporting patients to and from therapy appointments. The members of the therapy department state they do not have sufficient time to come to the nursing unit to pick up the patients and that patients often are not ready to be transported. Nursing staff members state that they do not have the time to transport the patients from the unit and this leaves a shortage of nursing personnel on the floor. Managers from both departments have attempted to resolve the conflict with input from nursing and therapy staff members. All attempts at conflict resolution have failed. What is the next step the managers should take? 1) Inform the nurses that they must take the patients to and from therapy. 2) Inform the therapists that they must take the patients to and from therapy. 3) Ask the hospital administrator to make an unbiased decision. 4) Begin informal negotiation between the two departments. ANS: 4 One of a managers responsibilities is to function as an informal negotiator when a resolution to conflict cannot be reached. PTS:1DIF:ModerateREF:pp. 15-16 KEY: Nursing process: Interventions | Client need: SECE | Cognitive level: Application 10. The manager is conducting an informal negotiation between two staff members who have had ongoing difficulty working together peacefully. Most recently there was an argument about who would be scheduled for first lunch each day. At this stage of the informal negotiation, the manager is focusing on managing the emotions and setting the ground rules. Which stage does this demonstrate? 1) Setting the stage 2) Conducting the negotiation 3) Making offers and counteroffers 4) Agreeing on resolution of the conflict ANS: 2 The manager has begun conducting informal negotiation. This includes managing the emotions, setting ground rules, and clarifying the problem. The first step of conflict resolution is introspective and is similar to data gathering. The negotiator thinks, What am I trying to achieve? What problems am I likely to encounter? The next step, setting the stage, may involve confronting the two parties with their behavior toward one another and making direct statements designed to open communication and challenge them to seek resolution of the situation. After conducting the negotiation, the parties move to making offers and counteroffers, and then to agreeing on the resolution of the conflict. PTS:1DIF:ModerateREF:p. 16 KEY: Nursing process: Implementation | Client need: SECE | Cognitive level: Application 11. A nurse observes a nursing assistant (NAP) fail to wash her hands before and after placing a patient on a bedpan. When giving negative feedback to the NAP, the nurse should: 1) Be certain to offer constructive criticism about the task and do so in private. 2) Ask the unit manager to be present to document responses of both parties. 3) Call a meeting of all NAPs and stress hand washing to the entire group. 4) Keep a record of the NAPs actions and save them for her annual formal review. ANS: 1 It is important to provide negative feedback in private. It is not necessary for the nurse manager to be present because staff nurses are responsible for delegating to and supervision of NAPs. The nurse should not call a meeting. It would be a waste of time for those who are already washing their hands properly, and it dilutes the effect of the feedback to the NAP who is not washing her hands. She might think, Oh, everybody does it; no big deal. It is important to allow some time every day for timely feedback. This allows the worker to know what she is doing right and wrong, and allows her to make corrective actions. The nurse should not allow this NAP to continue with her hand washing errors until her annual formal review because this can pose a threat to patient safety and increase the risk of transmitting infectious microbes.
