Test Bank For Leading and Managing in Nursing, 8th Edition
Chapter 01: Leading, Managing, and Following
Yoder-Wise: Leading and Managing in Nursing,
8th Edition
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 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.
TOP: AONE competency: Communication and Relationship-Building
2. A unit manager of a 25-bed medical/surgical area receives a phone call from a nurse who has
called in sick five times in the past month. He tells the manager that he very much wants to
come to work when scheduled but must often care for his wife, who is undergoing treatment
for breast cancer. According to Maslow‘s need hierarchy 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.
TOP: AONE competency: Communication and Relationship-Building
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 would be the best course
of action at this time?
a. Send the two disputants away to reach their own resolution.
b. Involve another staff nurse in the discussion for clarity issues.
, 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 the
conflict.
ANS: C
For resolution of conflict, one should address the interests and involvement of participants in
the conflict by examining the real issues of all parties.
TOP: AONE competency: Communication and Relationship-Building
4. At a second negotiation session, the unit manager and staff nurse are unable to reach a
resolution. 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 primary nursing-delivery system and are very resistant to this 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 is
implemented
c. Dropping the idea and trying for the change in a year or so when some of the
present 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.
TOP: AONE competency: Knowledge of the Health Care Environment
,6. As the RN charge nurse on the night shift in a small long-term care facility, you‘ve found that
there is little turnover among your LPN and nursing assistant (NA) staff members, but they
are not very motivated to go beyond their job descriptions in their work. Which of the
following strategies might motivate the staff and lead to greater job satisfaction?
a. Ask the director of nursing to offer higher wages and bonuses for extra work for
the night LPNs and NAs.
b. Allow the LPNs and NAs greater decision-making power within the scope of their
positions in the institution.
c. Hire additional staff so that there are more staff available for enhanced care, and
individual workloads are lessened.
d. Ask the director of nursing to increase job security for night staff by having them
sign contracts that guarantee work.
ANS: B
Hygiene factors such as salary, working conditions, and security are consistent with
Herzberg‘s two-factor theory of motivation; meeting these needs avoids job dissatisfaction.
Motivator factors such as recognition and satisfaction with work promote a satisfying and
enriched work environment. Transformational leaders use motivator factors liberally to inspire
work performance and increase job satisfaction.
TOP: AONE competency: Communication and Relationship-Building
7. The nurse manager wants to increase motivation by providing motivating factors for thenurse
on the unit. What action would be appropriate to motivate the staff?
a. Collaborate with the human resource/personnel department to develop on-site
daycare services.
b. Provide a hierarchical organizational structure.
c. Implement a model of shared governance.
d. Promote the development of a flexible benefits package.
ANS: C
Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision making occurs
throughout 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. This
principle is the foundation of shared governance.
TOP: AONE competency: Communication and Relationship-Building
8. The nurse manager has been asked to implement an evidence-based approach to teach ostomy
patients self-management skills postoperatively. The program is to be implemented across the
entire facility. What illustrates effective leadership in this situation?
a. The training modules are left in the staff room for times when staff are available.
b. The current approach is continued because it is also evidence-based and is more
familiar to staff.
c. You decide to implement the approach at a later date because of feedback from the
RNs that the new approach takes too much time.
d. An RN who is already familiar with the new approach of volunteers to take the
lead in mentoring and teaching others how to implement it.
ANS: D
, Followership occurs when there is acquiescence to a peer who is leading in a setting where a
team has gathered to ensure the best clinical decision making, and actions are taken to achieve
clinical or organizational outcomes. Followership promotes good clinical decisions and use of
clinical resources.

9. You overhear a new graduate RN telling a nurse colleague that leadership and management
belong to the unit manager, not to her. As a nursing colleague, what do you know to be true in
regard to the statement?
a. The statement is correct. Leadership is not the role of the staff nurse.
b. The new graduate would benefit from further understanding of her role as a
professional, whose influence may affect the decision making of patients,
colleagues, and other professionals.
c. The new graduate has been influenced by nurse leaders and managers who leave
for other positions.
d. The general perception is that nurse leaders and managers are not satisfied in their
jobs.
ANS: B
Care coordination that involves the intersection of individual, family, and community-based
needs requires that nurses have self-confidence, knowledge of organizations and health
systems, and an inner desire to lead and manage. There is often a view that leadership is
isolated to those holding managerial positions, and that a direct care nurse is subject to
following by adhering to the direction of others. Such views fail to acknowledge that to be a
nurse requires each licensed individual to lead, manage, and follow when practicing at the
point-of-care and beyond.
TOP: AONE competency: Leadership
10. The charge nurse walks into Mr. Smith‘s room and finds him yelling at the LPN. He is
obviously very upset. The charge nurse determines that he has not slept for three nights
because of unrelieved pain levels. The LPN is very upset and calls Mr. Smith an ―ugly, old
man.‖ The charge nurse acknowledges the LPN‘s feelings and concerns and then suggests that
Mr. Smith‘s behavior was aggressive but was related to lack of sleep and to pain. The charge
nurse asks, ―Can you, together with Mr. Smith, determine triggers for the pain and effective
approaches to controlling his pain?‖ This situation is an example of what?
a. Lack of empathy and understanding for Miss Jones
b. Concern with placating Mr. Smith
c. Leadership behavior
d. Management behavior
ANS: C
The situation between Mr. Smith and Miss Jones is a complex situation involving unrelieved
patient symptoms and aggressiveness toward a staff member. Providing engaged,
collaborative guidance and decision making in a complex situation where there is no
standardized solution reflects leadership.
