Effective Leadership & Management in Nursing, 9e (Sullivan)
Chapter 1 Introducing Nursing Management
1) A nurse manager is participating in the healthcare organization's strategic planning committee. Which factor is the primary driving force and controlling factor in new initiatives this committee might recommend?
1. Cost of care
2. Access to care
3. Availability of care
4. Quality of care
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. While all of the options given are driving forces in today's healthcare environment, the cost of providing care is still the primary issue. Cost of care controls access,
availability, and quality.
2. Access to care is controlled by the ability to pay.
3. Care will not be available if it cannot be funded.
4. Healthcare providers do not like to correlate quality with cost, but the economic reality is that quality care must also be funded care.

2) A nurse has been invited to discuss healthcare costs at a senior citizens' club. What information should the nurse plan to include in this discussion?
1. While healthcare costs continue to rise, the percentage of the United States (U.S.) economy
spent on healthcare has slowly declined to less than 12%.
2. Regulations brought about by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) should bring financial relief to healthcare consumers.
3. The United States spends more money on healthcare than any other country.
4. Healthcare spending in the United States is slowly declining due to passage of bills such as
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
Answer: 2
Explanation: 1. In 2009, healthcare costs consumed more than 17% of the country's gross domestic product. 2. Implementation of PPACA and its regulations have not been formulated.
3. The United States spends more than $2.5 trillion on healthcare annually, more than any other country.

3) A 70-year-old client develops a catheter-induced urinary tract infection. Which statement by the nurse would indicate to the nurse manager a need for additional understanding of this situation?
1. "I wonder if there was a break of sterility when this catheter was inserted."
2. "Thankfully we can treat this with an antibiotic."
3. "This could potentially cost the hospital a lot of money."
4. "I will talk to my unlicensed assistants about proper urinary catheter care."
Answer: 2
Explanation: 1. Wondering about a break in sterility indicates that the nurse is concerned about the process that might have contributed to this infection. 2. The nurse who focuses on taking care of the results of a potential medical mistake is not accepting the seriousness of the situation.
3. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services no longer cover the costs incurred by medical mistakes. This urinary tract infection could cost the hospital the cost of treatment, including increased length of stay.
4. The nurse has identified that improper care may result in poor outcomes for the client.

Select all that apply.
1. A nurse asks visitors to leave because it is after visiting hours.
2. At 2:00 p.m. the nurse orders a lunch tray for a client who has just been removed from nothing by mouth (NPO) status.
3. A nurse tells the manager that a housekeeper's work is not up to standards.
4. A nurse volunteers to take a Spanish language class to be able to communicate with clients.
5. A nurse who has not made a medication error in two years asks for a salary increase.
Answer: 2, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. The philosophy of quality management is focus on the needs of the client. If there is no reason for the visitors to leave other than it is after visiting hours, this is not focused on client need.
2. Even though 2:00 p.m. is after "lunchtime," this nurse is focused on the client's needs. This
is an example of quality management.
3. Quality management empowers the employee to evaluate quality. 4. This nurse has seen a need and is working to improve the quality of service. This is quality management.
5. Salary increases can be tied to quality improvement initiatives, but just asking for an increase is not quality management.
