Which statements if made by the nurse manager would demonstrate effective change management? Select all that apply
1. ?We cannot lose sight of the mission and values of our institution as we begin to integrate these changes.?
2. ?Although this task is going to be difficult, we have the full support of our hospital administration.?
3. ?If this approach doesn?t work, at least we can say we?ve tried.?
4. ?In order for this plan to work, everyone must agree to be a participant.?
5. ?Let?s wait until our administration has completed their reorganization before we implement change.?
1, 2
Explanation: 1. Integrative thinking keeps focused on the big picture while implementing change. It is also
important to acknowledge the difficulty of the task yet remain confident and persistence.
Saying ?we?ve tried? is incorrect because it suggests that resistance will be tolerated and there is
little investment in the task. Everyone?s agreement is incorrect because 100% support is not
needed for change to occur. Management strives for consensus. Completion of a reorganization
is incorrect because change is not initiated by top-level management and it is important not to
delay the implementation.
