Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% 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?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Involving staff aligns with complexity principles, promoting collaboration for effective change. Ignoring broader factors, mandating participation, or avoiding change do not address complexity or engage staff effectively.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is serving on a continuous quality improvement (CQI) committee that has been assigned to develop a program to reduce the number of medication administration errors following a sentinel event at the facility. Which of the following strategies should the committee plan to initiate first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reviewing error events identifies root causes, guiding targeted interventions. Competency exams, quality programs, or inservices should follow to address specific issues found in the review.
Question 3 of 5
A floor manager discovers widespread dissatisfaction and a high turnover rate amongst LPN and certified nursing assistants (CNA). Which of the following strategies might motivate the staff and lead to enhanced job satisfaction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Establishing a rewards program acknowledges and values the hard work of the staff, boosting morale and job satisfaction, which can lead to decreased turnover rates. Allowing tasks beyond scope can lead to legal and ethical issues, hiring additional staff addresses workload but not motivation, and ergonomic chairs improve conditions but don't directly address recognition.
Question 4 of 5
When planning delegation of tasks to assistive personnel (AP), a nurse considers the five rights of delegation. Which of the following does NOT correspond with the five rights of delegation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The five rights focus on task appropriateness, skill level, and scope, not supervision level. Non-invasive tasks and scope alignment are relevant, but supervision is a separate consideration.
Question 5 of 5
The Rehabilitation Unit at Pleasant Valley Hospital has a high number of falls. What interventions might assist to reduce the number of falls on the unit?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Educating staff on best practices for fall prevention is evidence-based and effective. Restraints can cause harm, blaming individuals ignores systemic issues, and punishment creates a blame culture, all of which are ineffective.
