In a facility in which management at all levels works diligently to encourage employees, have open communication, feel empowered, and have several employee-appreciation events every year, what is the most likely outcome?
1. The facility will be able more likely to attain magnet status.
2. All clients who use the facility will have improved health outcomes.
3. Nurses will feel empowered and will stay in their current positions.
4. No lawsuits will be brought against the hospital.
Answer: 1
Rationale: Magnet designation is earned by those facilities with employees who are positively motivated, making it the most likely outcome. Most clients will experience improved health outcomes, but not all. Nurses might feel empowered, but will most likely change positions at least within the facility, hopefully upward in management as positions are available. While it is less likely for lawsuits to be brought against a facility in which the employees are appreciated and lines of communication kept open, there is never a guarantee that no lawsuits will be filed.
