A new client charting system is in the education phase at a healthcare facility. Much discussion has been prompted regarding the new system. With which statement does the nurse best exhibit the integrated leader/manager traits?
A) "Let's look at the daily benefits of using the new technology on the clinical unit."
B) "I am not used to the new technology, but if it better serves the client and enables easy sharing of client authorized records, I see a benefit."
C) "New technology may be costly up front but will serve us well in the future."
D) "I do not believe that this technology will be helpful in caring for a client because it often is down during peak use times and is difficult to train for."
B
Feedback:
The traits of an integrated leader/manager combine understanding the daily operations on a clinical unit while seeing the big picture and thinking in the long term. Better serving the client and sharing records as needed demonstrates the willingness to think positively and take risks on improvement for the future. Option A and C only look at one aspect of leadership/management. Option D is a negative statement.
