A nurse asks the supervisor about the primary difference between the nominal technique and the Delphi technique. Which response by the supervisor would be most appropriate?
a. Group members meet face to face.
b. Group members do not meet face to face.
c. Group members think alike.
d. Group members do not think alike.
B
In the nominal technique for group decision making, the members are meeting in a face-to-face
environment. A key advantage of the Delphi technique is that it is not held in a face-to-face
environment, and therefore it can involve a large number of participants sharing a greater number of
ideas.
