A nurse manager at a 20-bed medical unit discovers that 80% of the patients are
older folks. She is tasked with assessing and adapting the facility to better suit the
specific needs of older adult patients. What is the best strategy for implementing
this modification based on complexity principles?
a. Use the hierarchical management position to engage unit staff in assessment and
planning.
b. Involve staff at all levels in decision-making processes.
c. Concentrate the assessment on the unit, leaving out the hospital and community
context.
d. Hire a geriatric specialist to monitor and manage the project. - The answer is B.
According to complexity theory, systems interact and adapt, and decisions are
made throughout the systems rather than in a hierarchy. According to complexity
theory, everyone's viewpoint counts, hence decision-making would involve all
levels of personnel.
A unit manager of a 25-bed medical/surgical area receives a call from a nurse who
has called in sick five times in the previous month. He informs the boss that he
wants to get to work on time, but he frequently has to care for his wife, who is
undergoing breast cancer treatment. What method would a strengths-based nursing
leader take to meet the needs of this nurse, other staff, and patients?
a. Arrange for agency nurses to be available on short notice.
b. Place the nurse on unpaid leave for the duration of his wife's treatment.
c. Sympathize with the nurse's situation and inform the charge nurse of this.
The nurse may call in regularly in the future.
,d. Work with the nurse, staffing office, and other nurses to plan his schedule.
He schedules his days off around his wife's treatments. - Answer: D.
Placing the nurse on unpaid leave may jeopardize her physiological needs and
demotivate her. Unsatisfactory shift covering on short notice may have an impact
on patient care and jeopardize staff members' confidence. Strengths-based nurse
leaders value the uniqueness of individuals, teams, systems, and organizations;
thus, scheduling around the wife's needs would result in a win-win situation, as
well as creating a work environment that promotes all nurses' health and
development.
3. A grievance filed by a staff nurse against the unit manager requires mediation.
During the first mediation session, the staff nurse repeatedly called the unit
manager's conduct unjust, while the unit manager continued to justify the acts.
What is the best course of action at this moment?
a. Send the two disputants away to find their own solution.
b. Involve another staff nurse in the discussion to help clarify difficulties.
c. Ask each side to reflect on her own motivations and issues in the conflict.
d. Continue to listen while the parties reiterate their views and feelings about the
conflict. - Answer: C.
Nurses and leaders must treat each scenario as unique and take appropriate
ANSWERs accordingly. Leaders must change their styles to address various
situations, such as conflict. Examining the motivations and causes underlying the
dispute in perceptions enables equal representation of each viewpoint.
Shortly after learning of fetal mortality, a laboring lady questions why she can no
longer hear her baby's heartbeat on the monitor. Although the monitor volume had
been down so that the woman could sleep between contractions, the nurse stated
that there was no heartbeat to hear because the baby had died in utero; the nurse
then asked if the patient wanted to chat about how she was feeling. This ANSWER
illustrates:
, a. Lack of empathy.
b. Ethical leadership.
c. Complexity science.
d. A coercive relationship. - The answer is: B.
Ethical leadership is founded on a commitment to identify and address complicated
issues ethically. Leadership can be abused when coercive relationships develop and
facts and genuine aims are concealed.
The manager of a surgical area envisions a future in which registered nurse (RN)
assistants or unlicensed individuals must feed, bathe, and stroll patients. The RNs
on the staff have traditionally practised in a primary nursing-delivery system and
are strongly opposed to this concept. The best initial strategy in this case would
include:
a. Exploring the RNs' values in respect to this change.
b. Leaving the RNs alone for a while so they may reflect on the change before
being addressed again.
c. Dropping the idea and hoping for a shift in another year or two.
d. Hiring the helpers and letting the RNs realize how beneficial they are. - The
answer is: A.
Leadership entails making informed decisions around a vision based on data and
tacit knowledge. Empathy and relationship management are two examples of
emotional intelligence required to influence others.
