The nurses are meeting to discuss their individual progress on a unit-based project. Which of the following statements indicate the nurse has a logical behavioral preference regarding time styles? Select all that apply.

1. I can't get past how the nurse manager added in the extra piece to our original assignments.
2. I think I've been doing a good job of managing my time because I am ahead of schedule.
3. I'm not really worried about the tasks related to our project because it will all come together. I'm just happy to be a part of this team.
4. I want to talk to all of you about adding in this poster that I want to make. I've got some great ideas for artwork that will help illustrate our points.
5. I didn't know that first part of my project was going to take so long. Maybe our nurse manager will move the due date back a few weeks.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2

Rationale:
I can't get past how the nurse manager added in the extra piece to our original assignments. There are four different time styles. The time style behavioral preferences are: action, idea, logic, and people's. This statement is an example of the logical behavioral preference for a personal time style. The people who fall into this category of time style do not handle new obstacles well. Typically, they are logical and orderly, and manage time very well.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

Rationale: Delegation can be used by a nurse to ensure that the work of the unit is completed on time. The registered nurse should oversee or manage the work. When activities are inappropriately delegated to the wrong staff members, it can result in legal issues. The nurse should ensure that the tasks that are delegated are an appropriate fit for the staff member based on the nurse's skill set, title, and the associated job description. It is appropriate to allow the certified nursing assistant to obtain vital signs. The registered nurse can interpret the meaning of the vital signs. The certified nursing assistant can retrieve medications for the nurse to give to the client. The unit secretary can print reports for the physician to examine. The registered nurse is in charge of managing the care of the client. The registered nurse is the only staff member who should be analyzing and interpreting the laboratory results of a client. The registered nurse can request specific phsyician's order changes from the physician regarding the laboratory test results.
