As a leader on a rehab unit, you encourage all staff members to see themselves as having a role in decision making and quality care. You see your role as involving particular responsibilities in decision making but not as a hierarchal role.
 
  This view of decision making and leadership is con-sistent with: a. Trait theories.
  b. Complexity theory.
  c. Situated theory.
  d. Emotional intelligence.

Question 2

A nurse manager is excited by the possible use of speech recognition (SR) systems for docu-mentation of patient care, especially during crisis situations when staff members need to focus on performing rapid assessments and implementation of
 
  procedures. She learns, however, that SR systems would be impractical at this point. What would lead to this conclusion? a. SR systems are not available outside pilot projects.
  b. The type of speech required for voice recognition is unlikely to occur in a pres-sured situation.
  c. The hands-free function has not been per-fected in SR technology.
  d. Wireless communications are prone to unreliability in transmission.

Answer to Question 1

B
Complexity theory involves envisioning each member of the team involved in decision making, management, and leadership, with the leader not seen in a hierarchal relationship to other team members.

Answer to Question 2

B
Speech recognition systems rely on staccato-like speech, pauses between words, and program-ming for each user, any and all of which would be unlikely in a pressured crisis situation. SR is being used primarily for therapeutic purposes and in situations where data entry is stable.
