Regardless of which delivery system or combination of delivery systems is appropriate, which skill is required for effective use?

1. Flexibility
2. Strict adherence
3. Persistence
4. Resistance to change


1
Rationale 1: Flexibility is a skill imperative when choosing a delivery system(s) for nursing care. The system must meet client and staff needs and 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 achieve the desired effects.
Rationale 2: Strict adherence to a set of rules or structure is not appropriate in today's health care environment, where adaptability is essential.
Rationale 3: The nurse should be persistent in learning new roles, but persistence is not the best answer to this question.
Rationale 4: Resistance to change is not a desirable skill in today's health care environment.
