The future of effective health care depends on the work environment that is present at the health-care setting. One important aspect of fostering a healthy work environment would be to ensure:

Question

A. Allowance for empowerment of each nurse by each other
B. That no physicians were part of the infra-structure of the unit
C. That the pharmacy satellite was not lo-cated on the unit since it would cause ex-tra off-unit staff coming to the unit
D. That patients understand that staff always have their meals privately and can not be disturbed whatsoever during these times

Answer 1

ANS: A

Feedback
A Correct because nurses need to self-empower and assist in empowering other nurses to have a healthy work envi-ronment.
B Incorrect because physicians and other health-care providers should be part of the unit and not just nurses.
C Incorrect because having a pharmacy sa-tellite on one's unit would be a positive factor and having more off-unit staff around would also generally benefit the unit.
D Incorrect because there always has to be at least some nursing staff available to care for the patients.
