A community-owned hospital has been purchased by a health care conglomerate. The staff is aware that the organizational theory governing the hospital is likely to change.
 
  Which statement indicates a lack of understanding of organizational theory on the part of a staff nurse? 1. If our new bosses want a classical organization, we can expect a strong hierarchy.
  2. If we don't want to see lots of changes, we should hope our new bosses don't like chaos theory.
  3. If this new company is based on systems theory, there will be a lot of focus on how much work we can produce.
  4. If this new company is based on contingency theory, we will see lots of focus on how our environment impacts our work.

Question 2

The nurse manager is updating the position control sheet for the fiscal year prior to beginning a new budgetary cycle.

  2. The current wage range for RNs working on the units
  3. The names of all unit clerks working in the unit
  4. The level of licensure of a nurse working on the unit
  5. The fact that two RNs have retired this year
