Chapter 01: Leading, Managing, and Following
Yoder-Wise: Leading and Managing in Nursing, 7th Edition



MULTIPLE CHOICE



1. A nurse manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% of the patients are older adults.
Sheis asked to assess and adapt the unit 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?
a. Leverage the hierarchical management position to get unit staff involved
inassessment 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
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 occurs
throughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity theory, every
voice counts, and therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in decision making.

2. A unit manager of a 25-bed medical/surgical area receives a phone call from a nurse who
hascalled in sick five times in the past month. He tells the manager that he very much
wants to come to work whenNscheduled
R I GbutB.C must often
M care for his wife, who is undergoing
treatment
for breast cancer. According toUMaS N’s Tneed hiO
slow 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.
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 the nurse’s capacity to meet physiologic needs
and 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 satisfying the nurse’s need
for affiliation.

and the unit manager continues to reiterate the reasons for the actions. What would be the

c. Ask each party to examine their own motives and issues in the conflict.
d. Continue to listen as the parties repeat their thoughts and feelings about
theconflict.
ANS: C

For resolution of conflict, one should address the interests and involvement of participants in

4. At a second negotiation session, the unit manager and staff nurse are unable to
reach aresolution. What is the appropriate next step?
a. Arrange another meeting in a week’s time so as to allow a cooling-off period.
b. Elevate the next negation session to the next manager, one level above.
c. Insist that participants continue to talk until a resolution has been reached.
d. Back the unit manager’s actions and end the dispute.
ANS: B
Part of leadership is understanding conflict resolution and ability to negotiate and manage for
resolution of issues and concerns. This situation has failed a second negotiation session,
elevation to a manager with additional training to facilitate conflict resolution is important at
this point.

5. The manager of a surgical area has a vision for the future that requires the addition of RN
assistants or unlicensed persons to feed, bathe, and ambulate patients. The RNs on the staff
have always practiced in a prNU RrySnIursi
ima NGng-
TB
de.
liCOMsystem and are very resistant to this
very
idea.
What would be the best initial strategy for implementation of this change?
a. Exploring the values and feelings of the RN group in relationship to this change
b. Leaving the RNs alone for a time so they can think about the change before it
isimplemented
c. Dropping the idea and trying for the change in a year or so when some of
thepresent RNs have retired
d. Hiring the assistants and allowing the RNs to see what good additions they are

ANS: A

Influencing others requires emotional intelligence in domains such as empathy, handling
relationships, deepening self-awareness in self and others, motivating others, and managing
emotions. Motivating others recognizes that values are powerful forces that influence
acceptance of change. Leaving the RNs alone for a period of time before implementation does
not provide opportunity to explore different 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 the change. Hiring of the assistants demonstrates
lack of empathy for the perspectives of the RN staff.
