The hospital's strategic building plan calls for the nursing unit to double in size within the next year. How can planning for this increase best be accomplished?
 
  1. A consultant who can gather ideas from all involved while avoiding the confrontations and clashes that would occur if all parties gathered to plan together.
  2. The nursing manager, who then can offer direct feedback to team members regarding their active roles in the change process.
  3. A well-coordinated team to represent all involved, to ensure that all difficult aspects of the change process are considered.
  4. An open forum of all staff, so that no workplace teamwork issues go unaddressed.

Question 2

The nurse executive of a healthcare organization wishes to prepare and develop nurse managers for several new units that the organization will open next year. What should be the primary goal for this work?
 
  1. Focus on rewarding current staff for doing a good job with their assigned tasks by selecting them for promotion.
  2. Prepare these managers so that they will focus on maintaining standards of care.
  3. Prepare these managers to oversee the entire healthcare organization.
  4. Prepare these managers to interact with hospital administration.

Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. An outside consultant is less likely to gain access to important information or to assist the nursing team to address teamwork issues.
2. A well-led team would can best offer feedback in a direct fashion, member to member.
3. A well-coordinated team will address all relevant points in an organized fashion.
4. The forum for addressing workplace issues needs to be planned and managed in a controlled and constructive way.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. This is an illustration of the Peter Principle, which is promoting people to management positions just because they are doing a good job in their current position. Management level employees should be selected based upon the potential ability to manage and their desire to do so.
2. Nurse managers are directly responsible for maintaining standards of care, and managing fiscal resources and development of staff.
3. This is not the responsibility of most nurse managers. In this question, it is clear that managers of nursing units are being prepared and developed.
4. Interacting with hospital administration is a rare requirement for a unit nurse manager and, if it is required, it is not as important as maintaining standards of care.
