The manager of a care facility advocates traditional management science. What is this manager most likely to prioritize? a. Ensuring that workers are satisfied in their roles b. Identifying and addressing barriers to efficiency abirb.com/test c. Empowering workers to make decisions independently d. Providing rewards for exceptional caring ANS: B abirb.com/test Feedback: Classical, or traditional, management science focuses on production in the workplace and on delineating organizational barriers to productivity and efficiency. Little attention was given to worker job satisfaction, and workaebrisrbw.coemr/eteastssumed to be motivated solely by economic rewards. This management style tends to be more authoritarian than empowering. Rewards are more likely to be conferred on workers who increase efficiency rather than those who exemplify psychosocial concepts, such as caring. abirb.com/test PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: Page: 53 OBJ: 5 NAT: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care TOP: Chapter Number: 02: Title: Key Concepts KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process abirb.com/test BLM: Cognitive Level: Analyze NOT: Multiple Choice 3.

The manager collaborates with senior staff to set quarterly goals for the center. b. The manager insists on accompanying nurses to comambirubn.ciotmy/teesvtents and observes them closely. c. The manager is difficult to access when there is a problem or crisis in the center. d. The manager allocates rewards based on the outcomes of nurses’ work. abirb.com/test ANS: B abirb.com/test WWW.NURSYLAB.COM Page 14 of 325 Feedback: Theory X managers believe that their employees are basically lazy, need constant supervision and direction, and are indifferent to organizational needs. Close scrutiny of nurses’ performance would suggest this perspective. Beianbgirbi.cnoamc/cteesst sible during a crisis is an undesirable trait in a manager, but this does not directly suggest a Theory X perspective. Collaboration and the distribution of rewards would be more closely associated with a Theory Y approach, which is more optimistic. abirb.com/test PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: Page: 43 OBJ: 5 NAT: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care TOP: Chapter Number: 02: Title: Human Relations Maanbiarbg.ceomm/etenstt (1930 to 1970) KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Analyze NOT: Multiple Choice abirb.com/test 4.

The nurses avoid contact with the accreditors because they fear criticism. c. The manager blames individual nurses for deficits idaebnirtbi.fcioemd/teisnt the accreditation report. d. The manager temporarily adopts a leadership role. ANS: A abirb.com/test Feedback: The Hawthorne effect indicated that people respond to the fact that they are being studied, attempting to increase whatever behavior they feel will continue to warrant the attention. Avoiding scrutiny does not demonstrate this effect, which involves improving one’s performance, knowing that it is being observed. Balabmirb.ecosmh/itefstit ng does not reflect this deliberate improvement in performance, or does adopting a leadership role on a temporary basis, which may or may not be seen as beneficial. abirb.com/test PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: Page: 43 OBJ: 2 NAT: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care TOP: Chapter Number: 02: Title: Human Relations Management (1930 to 1970) KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process abirb.com/test BLM: Cognitive Level: Analyze NOT: Multiple Choice 5.
