ATI Leadership and Ethics NURS 252 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse allows a nurse an additional twenty minutes for his lunch break to take care of a personal matter. The charge nurse agrees to watch his patients for the additional twenty minutes, only if he agrees to help with the end-of-shift drug count. The charge nurse is demonstrating which of the following types of conflict management?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Compromising involves mutual concessions, as seen in the exchange of covering patients for help with the drug count. Avoiding ignores issues, cooperating lacks clear exchange, and competing prioritizes one party's needs.
Question 2 of 5
Feedback from staff suggests that the new scale is too difficult for patients who have limited language skills and who are already under duress to understand. The difficulty in implementing the new scale refers to testing:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Effectiveness tests how well an intervention works in real-world settings, including usability issues like patient understanding. Efficacy tests ideal conditions, practice failure implies complete failure, and comparative error involves comparison issues.
Question 3 of 5
During an annual performance evaluation, a manager provides truthful feedback about the nurse's performance. What ethical principle does this represent?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fidelity involves truthfulness and trust, reflected in honest feedback. Autonomy respects decision-making, nonmaleficence avoids harm, and justice ensures fairness, but none directly apply to truthful feedback.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in an acute care setting is serving on a committee whose charge is to use the auditing process to client care. Which of the following aspects of client care is measured by an outcome audit?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Outcome audits measure care results, like infection rates, reflecting intervention effectiveness. Staff ratios and resource availability are structure audits, and care quality spans multiple audit types.
Question 5 of 5
The chief nursing officer at a local hospital seeking Magnet® status creates staff development classes concerning translation of research into practice (TRIP). What best describes TRIP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TRIP involves applying research to practice through adoption strategies. Searching reviews, sharing results, or conducting reviews are related but not the core of TRIP.
