MULTIPLE CHOICE 1i
1. A nurse manager of a 20-
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
bed medical unit finds that 80% of the patients are older adults. She is asked to assess and ad

iples, what would be the best approach to take for implementation of this change?
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
a. Leverage the hierarchical management position to get unit staff involved in
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
assessment and planning. 1i 1i
b. Engage involved staff at all levels in the decision-making process.
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
c. Focus the assessment on the unit and omit the hospital and community

environment.
d. Hire a geriatric specialist to oversee and control the project.
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
ANS: B 1i
Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision making occurs
1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1
throughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity theory, every
i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1
voice counts, and therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in decision making.

1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
needs of this nurse, other staff, and patients?

i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i 1i
unit manager continues to reiterate the reasons for the actions. What would be the best course
