NUR168 ECPI FINAL EXAM 2024-2025After implementing a remedy to the problem of supply delays, a nurse manager's
first responsibility is to:
Determine whether the desired outcomes have occurred.
Explanation:
The nurse manager must assess the results of the activities to determine whether the
desired outcomes have been achieved. The nurse manager should obtain advice
from staff members on potential solutions before implementing them, not after.
Monitoring the supply cabinets would be more appropriate if the problem was
suspected medication diversion by workers, but it would be unnecessary to assess
improvements in supply delays. Making an appointment with the chief nursing
officer is unnecessary and will not assist the nurse manager in evaluating the
change in method for procuring supplies.
The nurse is struggling to manage her time while caring for a large number of
clients with complex requirements. Medications are several hours behind schedule,
and several nursing procedures have not been completed. How should the nurse
deal with the time management issue? Put the following actions in order. -
ANSWER Determine which nursing interventions are prioritized.
Evaluate the likelihood of completing the nursing interventions.
Determine which nursing interventions can be assigned to other members of the
healthcare team.
Set a timeline for completing the nursing interventions.
Which action best exemplifies a nurse manager's effective leadership
characteristics? - ANSWER: Sharing a vision for the unit and gaining support.
The chief nursing officer (CNO) wishes to encourage nurses at the hospital to
become clinical nurse leaders (CNL) and is currently assessing a roster of nurses on
the medical-surgical unit. Which nurse should the CNO acknowledge as eligible to
take the CNL exam?
, a.) A BSN case manager with 16 years of nursing experience, who is trustworthy
and delivers empathetic client care.
b.) A registered nurse with an MSN who works as a nurse manager, has 7 years of
nursing experience, is supportive, and participates in community service activities -
ANSWER
b.) An RN with an MSN who is a nurse manager, has 7 years of nursing
experience, is supportive, and participates in community service activities.
Explanation:
The only nurse qualified to become a CNL is a registered nurse manager with an
MSN, 7 years of nursing experience, who is supportive and participates in
community service activities. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing
requires an RN to have at least a master's degree to become a certified nurse leader.
Conflict has broken out on a nursing unit after new grads discovered that some of
the more experienced nurses are altering client assignments to ensure a lower
workload during night shifts. How should the unit's management approach this
conflict?
a.) Gather evidence over the next few weeks to determine whether the activity is
taking place.
b.) Call a meeting to discuss and address the issue with as many nurses as feasible.
- ANSWER The correct ANSWER:
b.) Call a meeting to discuss and address the issue with as many nurses as feasible.
Explanation:
Open, explicit, and participatory conflict resolution based on collaboration is a
successful conflict management strategy. Gathering evidence does not immediately
address the current conflict, and reassurance may be unjustified or misleading.
