Which statement indicates that a nurse manager needs further education concerning the benefits of breaking a health care organization into subsystems?
1. Looking at departments separately can assist in better understanding the whole.
2. The subsystems can assist in understanding the real and social aspects of the
organization.
2. The individual subsystems can be further broken down into levels of management
in each.
3. Subsystems allow for closer inspection of the organization as whole by looking at
the parts.
Answer: 3
Rationale: Subsystems have nothing to do with the management levels in each subsystem. Breaking the whole into subsystems allows for a clear understanding of each part and the entire organization. This classification also assists in understanding the real, social, and behavioral aspects of the organization.
