MEDS 580 Final Exam Questions And
100% Correct Answers
Decision Making in Teams - ANSWER Decisions and actions regarding patients will be
made as a part of routine teamwork.
Three types of decisions:
-Individual clinical decision
-Team clinical decision
-Team management decision
The distinction between a management decision and a clinical decision is that
management decisions do not relate to a specific patient but rather how the team does
its work
Models for Decision Making in Teams - ANSWER 1) Strong Central Authority
2) Voting
3) Unanimous Agreement
4) Consensus
Strong Central Authority - ANSWER decision made without team deliberation; often
made in time sensitive situations like trauma; best approach for situations of high risk in
which rapid action is required to achieve desirable results or avoid serious adverse
outcomes a decision that is made by a team leader without deliberation; best strategy
for situations where time is at an absolute premium and a fast, authoritative decision is
needed
Voting - ANSWER typically the option that wins the plurality of votes is the chosen
option; this is the most commonly used strategy in decision making; plurality will be the
,AGRADESTUVIA
largest number of votes counted whether that is the majority or not; other options: each
voter can be asked to rate each option on a scale, say, of 1 to 10. The ratings can then
be averaged across all voters and the option receiving the highest average rating is
declared the winner. Or median rating for one option is highest, it can be called winner.
(commonly followed rule; followed in real groups because there is time to take such
decisions in the instances where they need to take it; plurality is highest number
needn"t be majority)
Some disadvantages for teams include that it does not measure conviction-most
problematic part in voting is that it does not convey how strongly people feel about
something, that is, a complacent majority can override a passionate minority;
sometimes a complacent majority can overrule a passionate minority and create
resentment.
Advantages include fast, uncomplicated method, it does not heavily invest a single
person.
Plurality - ANSWER Example: Hillary didn't get over 50% of the votes, but she still got the
most votes
relates to voting model for decision making in teams
Unanimous Agreement - ANSWER requires all team members to reach same conclusion
on the matter
Advantages = forces team members to listen to each other and find alternatives that
work for everyone - one of the main advantages to unanimous agreement is that the
entire team has to have a discussion to try to find a decision that works for everyone
Disadvantages = team may not be able to make a decision; can create a time demanding
process that end in stale-mate
Consensus - ANSWER relaxed version of unanimous agreement; does not require
positive affirmation from all team members but rather acceptance; "agreement by
, AGRADESTUVIA
general acceptance rather than positive affirmation"; allows for team members to voice
their opposition but still being willing to accept it this is our sort of "compromise
unanimous agreement" you can agree to it without liking it; just deal with it form what it
is; essentially you are allowed to say that you are opposed to the decision by not
opposed enough to overrule it, so you deal with it and move forward
High risk or extreme urgency = strong central authority; template teams tend to use
strong central authority, while true teams are more likely to use consensus decisions;
teams can switch decision making
Note: this tends to shift to voting or unanimous decision
Extreme Urgency (or High Risk) - ANSWER strong central authority; template teams
usually use strong central authority, true teams tend to prefer decisions made by
consensus; teams can change their decision making
Decision Making Hazards - ANSWER 1) Allowing personality factors, status, or hierarchy
to interfere with deliberation; strong personalities can suppress other's opinions
2) Production Blocking
3) Group Polarization
4) Hidden Profile
5) Defensive Routines
6) Groupthink
Production Blocking - ANSWER emergent ideas may be suppressed given insufficient
time to flesh out thoughts rules of listening impede new ideas
