Multiple Choice
Elizabeth,an RN with approximately 15 years of service on your unit,walks away from one of the learning sessions on IV care and you overhear her telling a colleague that she thought the session was a waste of time because "the unit has been using heparin for years and there has never been any adverse effects." You follow up with Elizabeth and discover that she is really quite angry about the information sessions because she feels that you are implying that "what she has been doing all these years means that she is incompetent and doesn't care about her patients." After speaking with Elizabeth,a few days later you discover that she is now fine with the change but is concerned that other areas of the organization might resist the change because of perceptions related to patient safety and cost.She suggests that it is important to bring pharmacy on board as they have had previous concerns about the use of heparin.In relation to change theory,this is indicative of:
A) systems level thinking.
B) linear thinking.
C) interprofessional collaboration.
D) first-order change.
