A nursing supervisor warns the nurse manager, Having access to electronic communication is not always a blessing.
 
   How should the manager interpret this warning? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Electronic communication wastes more time than it saves.
  2. The manager does not have to be physically present in the facility for communication to take place.
  3. If not used effectively, electronic communication can prevent the manager from getting rest.
  4. Along with a flatter organization and easy access, the nurse manager's job responsibilities have increased.
  5. In today's health care environment there is pressure to do more with less.

Answer to Question 1

2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Electronic communication can be a time waster, but if it is used effectively it save more time than it wastes.
Rationale 2: The nurse manager is instantly available through cell phone or e-mail, but this is not always a positive. Easy availability allows nurses to avoid making decisions and the manager is never really off call.
Rationale 3: If nurses have instant contact with the manager and are not taught to solve problems, the manager may be called at all hours and on days off. This prevents the manager from getting needed rest.
Rationale 4: Job enlargement has occurred, which means the nurse manager has greater responsibility and more employees to supervise. One reason this can occur is there is easier access to the manager during off-duty hours.
Rationale 5: There is a need to do more with less in health care. Electronic communication makes the potential work place much bigger than it was previously.

Answer to Question 2
