priority action?
1. Page the surgeon.
2. Contact the family to discuss pre–op mobility problems.
3. Instruct physical therapy to increase treatments to QID.
4. Inform the case manager of variance in critical pathway.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 1. The case manager tracks all variances, reports to the collaborative team, and may revise the
critical pathway. Paging the surgeon or contacting the family is not the first step. Ordering an
increase in physical therapy is not within the scope of nursing.

10) Hospital X is concerned about the low customer satisfaction ratings and poor evaluation on quality indicators.
The nurse managers are asked to implement a nursing delivery system that is cost effective and improves both
customer satisfaction and quality of care. Which nursing delivery system should the managers implement?
1. Functional nursing
2. Total patient care
3. Patient–centered nursing
4. Team nursing
Answer: 3
Explanation: 1. The focus of patient–centered nursing is the promotion of efficiency, quality, and cost control.
Functional nursing is cost effective but lacks continuity of care. Total patient care is costly and
less efficient for nursing staff. Team nursing is cost efficient but may lack continuity of care,
which can cause client dissatisfaction.

11) Which indicates the new graduate nurse understands why it is necessary to structure nursing care? Select all
that apply.
1. Coordinate care to a group of clients.
2. Organize responsibilities.
3. Ensure the staff leaves on time.
4. Improve physician efficiency.
5. Cluster care to allow rest periods.
6. Provide skilled care by skilled staff.
Answer: 1, 2, 5, 6

14) Which indicates the primary reason for the addition of the clinical microsystem as a nursing care delivery
system?
1. Those who deliver the nursing care make the most educated decisions for a particular unit.
2. Clinical decision making is best made by nursing leaders for all units within that particular hospital.
3. Those nurses working in particular service area are best suited to make decisions for the clients in that
area.
4. Clinical decision making is best made by the clients who are served by a particular unit.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The clinical microsystem method began to allow those who are involved in a particular unit
make the decisions for that unit. The other options are not correct as they do not describe
decision making by those on the ʺfront linesʺ on a particular unit.

16) Regardless of which delivery system or combination of delivery systems is appropriate, which describes a skill
required for effective use?
1. Strict adherence
2. Flexibility
3. Resistance to change
4. Persistence
Answer: 2
Explanation: 1. Flexibility is a skill imperative when choosing a delivery system(s) for nursing care. The
system must meet client and staff needs, the organizational and unit–specific goals, as well as
remain within cost constraints. If not, flexibility allows for change to occur to alter the system
as necessary to have the desired effects. Thus, strict adherence, resistance to change, and
persistence are not correct.
