The nursing supervisor states, I really dont have the time to delegate this assignment to a nurse manager. I can do it faster These statements suggest the:
 
  1. Nursing supervisor does not have time to delegate.
  2. Nursing supervisors job description needs to be redefined.
  3. Process of delegation is too time consuming.
  4. Staff is ill-prepared to assume additional responsibilities.

Question 2

A nurse manager has reduced absenteeism by increasing each nurse's job responsibilities. Why is this strategy effective? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.
 
  Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Nurses who feel their job is important realize that others depend upon their presence at work.
  2. A nurse who is given additional work responsibilities must work harder to prevent termination.
  3. Nurses who have greater responsibilities do not stress over minor responsibilities any longer.
  4. A nurse with less responsibility is always less motivated.
  5. Having greater responsibilities enriches the job experience.

Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 1. These statements suggest a lack of trust and confidence in the abilities of the staff. Not having
time is incorrect because it is the responsibility of the supervisor to develop the staff. Failing to
delegate is the time waster. The redefinition of the nursing supervisors job description is
incorrect because an effective managers role is to develop staff in such roles as a delegate. The
process is too time consuming is incorrect because that time invested in developing staff today
is later repaid many times over.

Answer to Question 2

1,5
Rationale 1: When employees feel they are making a real contribution they take greater ownership in their work.
Rationale 2: Preventing termination is not the reason this strategy is effective.
Rationale 3: Generally, the greater the responsibility, the greater the stress over all aspects of the job.
Rationale 4: Many nurses are very motivated even though they may not have as much responsibility as others.
Rationale 5: Greater responsibilities often change the flavor of the job so that the nurse enjoys it more.
