QUESTION

Using the classical organizational theory model, which would be the most appropriate method for the nurse to voice concern over unfair client workload assignments?

1. Invite the director of nursing to a unit meeting.
2. Circulate a petition to all staff seeking support for change in assignment policy.
3. Organize a unit meeting to discuss the problem on all shifts.
4. Discuss the problem with the team leader, then the manager if the problem
persists.

ANSWER:

Answer: 4

Rationale: Classical theory provides a formal chain of command and system for communication. Inviting the director to a meeting, circulating a petition, and organizing a unit meeting do not take into consideration the chain of command inherent in classical theory.
