How should the nurse describe change?
1. Positive or negative, planned or unplanned
2. Prevented and managed
3. Negative, doesn't have to occur, easily managed
4. Difficult and always negative
Correct Answer: 1
Change can be positive or negative, planned or unplanned. Change is a part of everyone's life; it is the way in which people grow, develop, and adapt. Change is inevitable and can not be prevented. Change can be spontaneous or unplanned, or also be a planned event. Change can be seen as both positive and negative depending on the event that the change is related to. With careful planning, communication, and ensuring employee confidence, change can be managed.
