Nurse X wants to use a very detailed decision-making tool to show the amount of time required to complete a project from beginning to end. Which tool should she use?
a. Delphi diagram c. Gantt chart
b. PERT diagram flowchart d. Decision analysis tree
C
A Gantt chart is used in decision making when a project is needed to be clearly defined from beginning to end; hence it would be a good tool for Nurse X to use to outline her project. The Delphi technique (not diagram) is a kind of group decision making.
The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) provides a visual picture of required tasks over an amount of time, but is not as detailed as the Gantt chart. The decision analysis tree is another good tool for decision making but is not as detailed as the Gantt chart and may or may not include a timeline for completion of tasks.
