MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% of the
patients are older adults. She is 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 in assessment 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 community environment.
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.

, Leading and Managing in Nursing 7th Edition
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.

3. A grievance brought by a staff nurse against the unit manager
requires mediation. At the first mediation session, the staff nurse
repeatedly calls the unit manager’s actions unfair, and the unit
manager continues to reiterate the reasons for the actions. What

a. Send the two disputants away to reach their own resolution.
b. Involve another staff nurse in the discussion for clarity issues.
