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.

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.
