Susan, a recently appointed nurse manager, decided each of the staff nurses should be involved in an evidence-based research project. Being a visionary leader, she presented this plan at a staff meeting using which of the following frameworks?
A. Each nurse could choose his or her own project and would be given 2 hours per week paid time to work on the project.
B. Mandate that each nurse must sign up for one of four projects, and reimbursement for 1 hour per month of time would be early dismissal on days when staffing was good.
C. Each nurse would be assigned to a project, and there would be no reimbursement for time.
D. Only nurses with 5 years of experience could participate in the two projects, and participation was considered a privilege without pay.
ANS: A
Feedback
A Correct because being able to choose one's own project and being reimbursed for the time recognizes its importance.
B Incorrect because leaders do not mandate nurses to do something they are not being reimbursed fully for.
C Incorrect because leaders would not just assign a nurse and not reimburse them for their time to a project.
D Incorrect because leaders would not single out just the experienced nurses to partici-pate in the project.
