Extract:

Question 1 of 5

A nurse manager of a 12-bed medical unit finds that the majority of the patients are older adults. She is asked to assess and adapt the unit to better meet the unique needs of the older adult patient. Using complexity principles, what would be the best approach to take for implementation of this change?

A. Focus the assessment on the unit and ignore the needs of the hospital as a whole. B. Hire an outside consultant to oversee and manage the project. C. Engage involved staff at all levels in the decision-making process.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Engage involved staff at all levels in the decision-making process. By involving staff in decision-making, the nurse manager promotes collective intelligence and diverse perspectives, aligning with complexity principles. This approach fosters a sense of ownership and commitment among staff, leading to more successful implementation of changes tailored to meet the unique needs of older adult patients.

Choice A is incorrect because focusing solely on the unit neglects the interconnectedness of the hospital system and may lead to isolated solutions.
Choice B is incorrect as hiring an outside consultant may not fully leverage the expertise and insights of the internal staff who are familiar with the unit's dynamics.
