Regardless of which delivery system or combination of delivery systems is appropriate, which describes a skill required for effective use?
1. Strict adherence
2. Flexibility
3. Resistance to change
4. Persistence
2
Explanation: 1. Flexibility is a skill imperative when choosing a delivery system(s) for nursing care. The
system must meet client and staff needs, the 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 have the desired effects. Thus, strict adherence, resistance to change, and
persistence are not correct.
