Chaos in health care has been the driving force in creating which of the following new leadership opportunities for nurses?
A. Advanced nurse certification and a clinical practice doctorate in nursing
B. Patient care delivery teams and use of more ancillary healthcare workers
C. Nurse Resource Position for department and SWAT Team for hospital emergencies
D. Electronic documentation and Inter-net-driven communication with hospital employees
ANS: C
Feedback
A Incorrect because the chaos did not di-rectly increase certifications for advanced practice nurses nor did it trigger the doc-torate of nursing practice.
B Incorrect because hospitals have always used health-care teams to deliver care and the ancillary health-care workers have been increasing in most institutions over the past two decades.
C Correct because the Nurse Resource Posi-tion and SWAT Team did evolve due to the chaos in health care and increased acuity of patients.
D Incorrect because electronic documenta-tion and Internet use would have evolved with increased technology not due to chaos.
