Effective Leadership & Management in Nursing, 9e (Sullivan)
Chapter 1 Introducing Nursing Management
1) A nurse manager is participating in the healthcare organization's strategic planning committee.
Which factor is the primary driving force and controlling factor in new initiatives this committee
might recommend?
1. Cost of care
2. Access to care
3. Availability of care
4. Quality of care
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. While all of the options given are driving forces in today's healthcare
environment, the cost of providing care is still the primary issue. Cost of care controls access,
availability, and quality.
2. Access to care is controlled by the ability to pay.
3. Care will not be available if it cannot be funded.
4. Healthcare providers do not like to correlate quality with cost, but the economic reality is that
quality care must also be funded care.
Cognitive Level: Applying
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment

Nursing/Int Conc: Nursing Process: Evaluation/Leadership

1. While healthcare costs continue to rise, the percentage of the United States (U.S.) economy
spent on healthcare has slowly declined to less than 12%.
2. Regulations brought about by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) should
bring financial relief to healthcare consumers.
3. The United States spends more money on healthcare than any other country.
4. Healthcare spending in the United States is slowly declining due to passage of bills such as the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
Answer: 2
Explanation: 1. In 2009, healthcare costs consumed more than 17% of the country's gross
domestic product.
2. Implementation of PPACA and its regulations have not been formulated.
3. The United States spends more than $2.5 trillion on healthcare annually, more than any other

Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.
Select all that apply.
1. A nurse asks visitors to leave because it is after visiting hours.
2. At 2:00 p.m. the nurse orders a lunch tray for a client who has just been removed from nothing
by mouth (NPO) status.
3. A nurse tells the manager that a housekeeper's work is not up to standards.
4. A nurse volunteers to take a Spanish language class to be able to communicate with clients.
5. A nurse who has not made a medication error in two years asks for a salary increase.
Answer: 2, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. The philosophy of quality management is focus on the needs of the client. If
there is no reason for the visitors to leave other than it is after visiting hours, this is not focused
on client need.
2. Even though 2:00 p.m. is after "lunchtime," this nurse is focused on the client's needs. This is
an example of quality management.
3. Quality management empowers the employee to evaluate quality.
4. This nurse has seen a need and is working to improve the quality of service. This is quality
management.
5. Salary increases can be tied to quality improvement initiatives, but just asking for an increase
is not quality management.
