Some of the eight questions that are useful for nurses when deciding whether to use an individual or
group process for decision making are "Does the individual nurse have all the information needed?",
"Is it absolutely critical that the individual group accept the decision before its implementation?", and
"Does the course of action chosen make a difference to the organization?" How the decision impacts
relationships with both internal and external stakeholders is a good consideration in certain instances,
but it is not part of Vroom and Yetton's recommended questioning.
