#because he was also not shown any sign of wanting to collaborate in the exam

[pupuseriazag]

A ver sientense que les voa contar un medio chambresito de mi vida estudiantil:

Ando re emputado porque todo este ciclo hemos estado trabajando un juego en grupos y todos hemos hecho algo...excepto un man que solo ha aparecido a pedir copia de los parciales. Todos hemos trabajado algo y este man en ningun momento mostro interes en ver que hacia a menos que le hicieramos @ directamente o alguien le escribiera en privado antes, tanto que me quede esperando una semana que me enviara 4 iconos de los niveles que habiamos hecho.

Me termino enviando 3 que se veian... Sospechosos. El tipico estilo de iconos de las paginas tipo freepik y cada uno eran como estilitos algo diferentes, pero como en mi perra vida habia visto si ese man dibujaba no lo cuestione y ni modo, ya me ha pasado antes que digo "este estilo es sospechoso para esta persona" y resulta que si ese es su estilo. Asique me calle el osico y segui armando las cosas.

Pasamos a ayer que estabamos hablando de la idea de añadir creditos al final poniendo que hiso cada uno + una ilustracion propia + @ de instagram pa promocionarnos de gratis verda, y este man seguia sin aparecer.

Y otro compañero me escribio para preguntarme si si habia hecho algo y ahi yo le dije que tenia mis sospechas de los iconos porque yo no estaba seguro de si de verdad los hiso el man. Hasta tenia sospechas yo que de seguro habia usado alguna AI porque desgraciadamente he visto demaciados compañeros usarlas (Y se supone que todos somos artistas hasta cierto punto en esta carrera).

Me dice el man "pasamelas, yo las busco" y va se las pase va y man. Primera pagina de google imagenes y encontro 2 de los iconos que el maje habia mandado.

(El que tiene como cielo azul es el uno de los que envio, el otro es por la casita, ya que ese es el icono que me mando despues que yo le dijers que faltaba el de "Mercado" y tan pendejo tenes que ser para que si te dicen "hace un icono de mercado" haces una casita que tiene al lado un tronco con una hacha? Neta?)

Y man los dos estabamos RE emputadisimos porque maje, se supone que estas materias son ya de 3-4 año (5 en mi caso pero por otras razones) osea ya es un punto donde has llevado MINIMO como 4 materias dedicadas a diseño e ilustracion. Todos estaban trabajando haciendo assets del juego (yo no porque yo estaba encargado de hacer que el juego funcionara y meter todos los assets) y que este cerote salga con enviarme SACADOS DE GOOGLE? MAJE?

Y lo peor es que va, te pongo el timeline de eventos:

Semana 2 - Escribo en el grupo que nos reunamos para decidir bien que hara cada quien y se hace la reunion, no aparece don cerote.

Semana 3, domingo - les recuerdo que me tienen que enviar los assets y empiezan a enviarme los que ya se terminaron, hago el listado de assets faltantes, don cerote aparece y dice que hara los iconos.

Semana 3, miercoles - me estoy quejando con una amiga mientras jugamos, le digo que me estoy estresando haciendo esto porque este man no envia sus partes y teniamos sospechas que el siguiente lunes seria la entrega, inmediatamente me escribe "la amiga de el" preguntandome si envio su parte. Pongo un mensaje medio pasivo agresivo en el grupo que envien sus mierdas los que faltan y ella le escribe en privado, el dice que si las esta trabajando que me las enviara despues.

Semana 3, Viernes - a las 9 me cae mensaje de el que ya envio sus iconos (solo 3) y que lo disculpara porque "no le llegaba el inter donde se estaba quedando" y que por eso se tardo.

Semana 4, Jueves - Le hago saber mis sospechas a uno del grupo y se organiza reunion pa contarlo en el grupo

Y para todos nos parece una falta de respeto considerando que TODOS nos hemos estado matando estas semanas trabajando nomas para que este cerote venga y le regalemos el parcial final, NI MIERRRRRRDA.

Y estabamos en llamada de discord hablando de eso y 5 de 7 estaban de acuerdo en que lo dejaramos valiendo riata. Faltando la que se supone que era su amiga y ese man.

....Hasts que entro la amiga y a mi me toco explicarle que pedo.

Y yo asi de "mira... Te tengo malas noticias, paso esto y descubrimos que los iconos que mando este man no los hiso el. Asique estabamos considerando dejarlo fuera por eso mismo."

Y nos dice "...Pues yo honestamente ni se quien es el tipo, solo se me acerco un dia y me pregunto si podia estar en el equipo y yo le dije que si"

Y nosotros asi de

"Pos ya quedo señores, lo sacamos del grupo, gg"

Total que estamos trabajando en terminarlo y no le vamos a decir ni mierda y ahi que pierda la nota del parcial. Que se queje con el licenciado pero todos podemos advocar que el no mostro interes verdadero en querer ayudar (hasta a una compañera le dijo que no habia estado al pendiente del grupo, que mas que eso?)

Y como soy un maje que me encanta quejarme de cualquier minimo descontento en mi perra vida le conte a mi mama MAJE Y MI MAMA ADVOCANDO QUE QUIZA EL MAN ES POBRE MAMA QUE ESE MAN SE VISTE COMO BICHO FRESON.

Y osea, si hay probabilidad que el tubiera problemas asi, PERO NOS LO HUBIERA DICHO SI ESE ERA EL PEDO. NADA LE COSTABA DECIRNOS "Hey, yo no soy tanto de ilustrar, me podrian dar otra parte del proyecto que no incluye hacer eso?" ASI DE FACIL ERA TREMENDO CEROTE PERO COMO BIEN HAS ESTADO NOMAS ESPERANDO QUE TE RESPONDAMOS EL PARCIAL CREES QUE TE LA VAMOS A PERMITIR?

Y que no se que que pobresito que no seamos nosotros quien lo haga perder nota. PERO ES QUE MINIMO CON ESA EXCUSA HA PASADO TODAS SUS MATERIAS y yo no voy a estar carreandole la nota a un cerote que ni conozco, a los unicos que carreo son a los imbeciles de mis equipos en OW pero eso es otro pedo.

Ni se puede excusar de que "no es tan creativo" porque estas en esta carrera entonces grandisimo cerote? Que parte de "animacion digital y videojuegos" no entendiste despues de como 4-5 años? No me parece justo que nosotros si nos matamos haciendo estas mierdas para que don cerote que solo quiere nota de gratis descargue iconos culeros en google y los haga pasar por suyos.

No mi ciela a mi no me la van a hacer y yo oportunidad le di que tubiera nota y la oportunidad de darle nota fue que hiciera los pinches iconos y no los hiso, asique que chingue a su madre.

Total, ese ha sido mi pedo con este parcial y ando jugando stardew valley. Queres mas cafe?

//Yoongi obeyed and dressed albeit heavy with amusement. The way panic grew across your face tickled him and forged a drowsy grin on his face. He drew back the long black curtains and introduced the bright beams of the sun slowly ascending the skyline. As much your mum could be terrifyingly blunt Yoongi had always had a good relationship with her, quite often he’d find himself at one of your shows and end up chatting to your biggest fan and the one who brought you into this life. He slowed his pace nearing the junction to the living room and heard your mum giving you relationship advice before stepping into the situation.//

 “Y/N!” Yoongi exclaimed when you’d grabbed his hand and pulled him into a harsh kiss as the elevator doors closed. His cheeks flushed rose when you let yourself pull away, your smirk thoroughly enjoying his embarrassment and awkwardness.

The meeting lasted a few hours and as soon the topic changed from the MAMAs to your relationship your mood soured incredibly quickly;  the list of restrictions on your new relationship grew and grew like unwanted thistles over a perfect lawn. You knew this was going to be the case especially seeing as the situation concerned a member of BTS but it still grated you the wrong way. You couldn’t even hold hands in public! The air was thick with unease. You’d also been told to do a joint V-Live later on and announce the MAMA performance; an official statement regarding dating status was going to be released tomorrow morning.

Yoongi being Yoongi wasn’t sure how to deal with you in this agitated state, the only comfort he could offer was squeezing your hand with gentle pressure when you were finally alone in the elevator. The action so small actually bloomed into a lot of comfort.

“I’ll go get Charlie from Kook and make a phone call and I’ll be back okay baby” The way he looked at you, calling you baby with those contemplative gooey eyes somewhat soothed a little more of the turmoil in your mind.

“Sure, don’t be too long” offering a weak smile.

You gave the receptionist a smile which prompted they keys at her computer to stop emitting the tapping sound and make her way over to you, the unsure smile and never focusing eyes were the unmistakable signs of a fan approaching a celebrity

“Excuse me Miss YL/N” The politeness of when we first entered the building remained unaltered.

You replied with a soft smile beckoning her to continue, she towered above you as you were sat; she realised this and knelt down to your height after bowing.

“I just want to say that I’m a huge fan and so is my daughter we saw you in Seoul at your tour kick off, it was incredible”

You beamed at her with wide appreciative eyes.

“Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it, how old is your daughter? You replied

“18”

“Exam week for her right?”

“Yeah it’s been a tense week for sure”

“What’s her name?” you asked

“Annabelle?” her tone was now quizzical.

“Would you mind if I recorded a video on your phone for her?” She swallowed hard as if her throat had just played victim to drought

“Oh my god, that would be amazing” her words stumbled out as did her hands giving you her phone.

You recorded a message of good luck and encouragement and promised that next time you toured she could have VIP passes to one of your shows for all her hard work. You took the receptionists details and sent them straight to your manager. Her face morphed from ecstatic to petrified when a door to the left of her desk opened.

She’s obviously not supposed to be fazed by the guests here

Thankfully it was only Yoongi accompanied by Charlie who was walking patiently by his side

“I didn’t know you was a y/n fan” Her only response was a guilty smile and returned to her desk.

Yoongi really needed to stop wearing skinny jeans with rips in, the just looked too good on him; not to mention how his oversized black t-shirt sat on him in such a way it emphasised how small he actually was. His skin always glowed even bare faced and tired; you were both jealous and in awe of this.

“Earth to Y/N, you don’t need to daydream about me ya know” he teased placing the lead in my hand. “I’m yours now remember”

You’d been busted

“That maybe but sometimes one imagines things not entirely appropriate” you shot back. His eyes grew wide as did his smirk.

“You going to let me in on the daydream then? Need to live up to my expectations now don’t I”

“Nope”

He visibly huffed before carrying on walking you both out of the building

“Fine, come on I want to show you something”

We arrived down a quiet street occupied by what looked like old factory buildings. Half of the street was shrouded in un-moving shadows, it blanketed the few of the cars left on the street. Yoongi pulled up and bursting with chivalry came and opened the door for you; as much as it felt odd you accepted his hand and stepped out the car. He pressed the buzzer at a Tuscan red bricked building, the door was a large factory one. All the while your head was turning and searching for anything that indicated where the hell you were and for any potentially impending paparazzi

“It’s me” He confirmed to the crispy, crackling voice of the intercom, a click reached your ears and Yoongi hauled the door open.

You certainly was not expecting to be welcomed into a large white room, the white walls were beaming; the tint of fresh paint aroma was hanging weak in the air. The only thing gracing the walls were a variety of shapes and sizes of photographs to be illuminated by the lamps that sat off above them. More central in the room were benches and small podium like stands with animals’ models shown proudly off them.

Before you could ask what you were doing here, Yoongi replied to the vacant look on your face.

“My friends opening an exhibition next week, I remember how much you like photography so here we are.

You were approached by a young faced man, bright face tarred with the lines of stress. He was dressed in navy trousers and a loose shirt.

“Oh I’m actually so glad you’re here” he rushed “Could you please hold the fort here for like 30 mins, the security people are running late but I’ve got to go and meet with the caterers” his face was flushed a red pink, poor thing.

“Uh Sure, yeah of course” Yoongi stuttered back.

“Also absolute pleasure to finally meet you Y/N, please enjoy” He offered you a bow down to his waist and placed a light respectful kiss on the back of your hand before zooming off.

“Nice to meet you too” your voice chasing after him.

“So I guess it’s just us then” your words slowed as they escaped you.

“Looks like”

You took his hand and moulded it to yours

“Guess we can look around the gallery like this then” you quipped bright as a button with the opportunity.

“Can also do this” he added yanking you to a kiss which then moulded you against his body, before you’d allow yourself to set you pulled yourself apart and focused your attention to the beautiful photographs at your personal viewing.

You’d spent about thirty grand in your mind already window shopping, it would be reality as soon as you worked out where on earth you’d hang them. One of them already would look perfect in your studio.

“He’s really talented”

“Yeah, even at college he was annoyingly talented, he beat me at every class” ….

“Well I’d say your both winning at life, just different departments. Reckon he has more in the back?”

“Probably yeah” he followed your lead, not that he had a choice, he was too content secured in your grip. The main back room was cluttered with debris of packaging and boxes, the only thing that was clear was a low sofa and a small table and chairs; the table was only lightly littered with food packets and wrappers. Along the far wall was a rack holding a stack of large prints all protected with a protective film for transporting.

You wandered off, releasing his grip and aimed straight for the rest of the prints. There was an expulsion of air from the leather sofa as Yoongi relaxed his weight to it; allowing you to browse excitedly with a content smirk resting on his face. You managed to catch the end of the sparkle of amusement trying to flicker away as you turned.

“What?”

“Nothing you’re just so adorable when you’re in your element”

“Call me adorable once more and BTS will need a new rapper” you warned.

“Ado……ra” he began, your eyes glistened with ‘you dare’; your uncontained smile only provoked him

“Ble” he finished looking smug.

 “Is this adorable?” you breathed, teeth nipping at his neck, hand feathered at the back of his neck gripping at his hair. Your palm applying pressure through his trousers just underneath the apex of your thighs

“You know damn well it isn’t” he managed trying to keep all breathy moans from escaping to coax you more.

“You’ve gotta stop” he pleaded.

“Why?” lips enveloping his, delaying the response you knew was coming.

“You are going to get us into sooo much trouble and we really can’t have a scandal someone could be back any minute” his grip loosened at the outside of your thighs, further informing you of his sincerity.

“You mean you can’t! My reputation is quirky and beautifully tarnished at best. Yours is the squeaky clean one” You pouted, slumping back onto your legs shifting your weight to his legs.

“Put that bottom lip away before I call it adorable” you chuckled at his statement slapping his chest in amused disapproval.

The knock of the door almost jolted you on your ass as it made you jump and had you scrambling off Yoongi to an innocent position. A calm smile camouflaging the rapid panicking of your heart. After checking the window and confirming the work men you opened the door to an immediately flustered couple of guys. They definitely weren’t expecting two idols to greet them.

“Umm…I’m looking for..Mr” he stuttered. One pair of eyes was noticeably on you a hell of a lot more than Yoongi.

“He’ll be back any minute” Yoongi piped up, slightly stepping in front of you and pulling the door open from you. The protective gesture didn’t go unnoticed.

Hurried footsteps bombarded from behind to a flushed looking …

“I’m here, thank you” You and Yoongi wordlessly thanked him as the security guys were already going over plans like they couldn’t wait five god damn minutes.

//

The pair of you worked on some of the arrangement on the song until you both sub-misssed into your room at Yoongis and curled up together in comfy spoon and napped. The weight of your arms draped at his hips, your face nestled into the back of his neck was the perfect catalyst for sleep.

//

Everything was set for the V-Lives, you’d both wanted to air it from your own accounts so you’d managed to push two screens together in his studio and placed two cameras where each of the screens met so you’d be looking in the same direction.

The genius compromise came from you. Obviously.

“Ready?” he asked swivelling in his chair to your direction behind him faffing with your hair and fine tuning your makeup in a small mirror by the door.

“You’re shitting it aren’t you?” pushing himself up and out of his chair and wrapped himself around you from behind, head resting on your shoulder looking all bright and doey eyed at your reflection.

“Just nervous about the reactions we’ll get tomorrow more than anything” You confessed.

“It will be fine, we know they’ll be both good and bad, people will get over it. Anyway just see it as we’ll be the K-Pop power couple everyone will want to talk about”

You chuckled under your breath “Power couple? We’re not Jay Z and Beyonce” you quipped.

Both of you had thousands of viewers in minutes, watching the comments explode with excitement asking what’s going on had you wearing an amused smile leaning forward hand supporting your chin as your eyes scanned the influx of fans. Some of which were already saying you’d look like such a good couple.

After you’d made the performance announcement the V-live quickly deteriorated into a snowstorm of questions, you both did your best to control the blizzard without revealing any secret snowflakes.

“A lot of Army are asking what your favourite BTS song is” Yoongi directed at you with beautiful curious eyes.

“I think whatever it is you should totally sing some” he added knowing full well the power of army would make the peer pressure unbeatable. Even your fans comments turned on you and wanted to hear you sing.

“Seriously?” you asked bemused.

“Yep! Look literally everyone wants it and you can’t tell me as an artist you’ve not sung or prepared a version of it” he rolled his chair back and dragged out the mic stand and placed it defiantly in the room.

“I’ll play the piano for it” he encouraged. Your face felt the rush of blood tainting your cheeks.

“Erm, it’s so hard to pick just one, I guess either Tomorrow or House of Cards, you choose from them” you demanded, from the fans or Yoongi would do.

“We’ll do House of Cards, I think your vocals will be perfectly beautiful for that” Normally a compliment would be accompanied by a sugar coated gaze In your direction, not on live though, he turned without a moment’s hesitation and set up his keyboard. Fingers caressing the keys with such gentle precision as he warmed them up. The grey hoody slumped on his frame, his expressions hindered shielded underneath his black baseball cap.

“Hope you guys enjoy this” you stood tight, microphone facing side on to the camera allowing you to observe Yoongi from behind. The song had always sounded such a sexy ballad but under the keys of gentle fingers the piano made the song feel so sad, you inhaled as you nodded to Yoongi who played you into the song.

After a few bars the surroundings dissolved into the safe haven of your own room as if you were casually singing around the house. You’d even recorded a cover of this song.  Just before the last note as Yoongi finished playing his smile and shimmering eyes reached you and shoved you straight back into shyness, you laughed through the flushness once again and gave a timid bow and scurried back your chair and shrouded yourself with your hood and scanned the screens for the comments. Yoongi just chuckled and joined you back at the computer.

“That was alright” he said as non chalantly as he could through his grin which he was attempting to squash.

You flung your wrist out and flicked it across the top of him arm with wide eyes and mouth.

“Ow” he exaggerated. His pout only encouraged you to do it again.

“They keep saying we’d be an awesome couple” his hands pointing at the pair of computers. You’d both agreed to not mention any comments hinting at anything like that. Without skipping a beat, as if you’re brain hadn’t just completely panicked.

“Can you imagine?” you managed through a giggle

“Ultimate power couple” you added reflecting on Yoongi’s comment earlier. The comments were flooding in on both feeds, flashing too quick to read but you got the gist of agreement and compliments.

You ended the session after minutes of sending your love and appreciation to fans and getting caught up in another few questions. It’s worse than leaving a house party and having to say your goodbyes to everyone on the way out.

“Thought we were avoiding any couple comments?” you glared at him returning the mic stand to its home behind the electronic keyboard.

“There were just too many to ignore” he defended tugging at your belt loop leaving you falling into his chest as he lent against the desk

“Don’t creep, we said not too! And you made me sing!” your fist curled into weak fist and rested at his chest, his hands rested at your lower back but they quickly started falling out of place and slid to cup your ass.

//

The sheets were ruffled into a hot mess, his fists were bound behind his back, beautifully decorated with black silk. His whines and pants were muffled by the mattress. The muscles at his shoulder blades were deliciously twitiching as he writhed under any contact you gave him. A pillow was under his hips raising his behind which was now a precious pink taking the shape of your hand. The quiet hum of the prostate massager just only audible over Yoongi’s tired moans, the hair around his neckline was damp and refused to move when he moved.

“Had enough?” the ache between your own legs becoming unbearable, you could feel the extent of your arousal as you moved. Tugging at his hair yanking his head up from the mattress.

“Yes, god please!” satisfied with the level of desperation saturating his voice you clicked and powered down the massager stealing a relieved groan into the mattress. The soft silk tie found a new lace on the floor freeing Yoongi’s arms as the fell to his sides

“Roll over” you ordered, leaving him no time to catch his breath.

“You look so sexy all fucked out” you breathed, fingers ghosting a teasing pattern down his thighs as your body soon followed your tongue gliding in so slow whirls around his throbbing cock. You allowed the hand that had ruffled into the top of your hair to stay, the tighter the ministrations of his grip only motivating you further.

“If you don’t want me to cum you gotta…” His hips bucked slightly even under the weight of one of your arms, his grunt catching is his throat. Your eyes shot upwards beneath the smirk growing at your lips swallowing him down. Your eyes were met with a regretful satisfied glance.

“What did I say would happen if you came before I said you could?” before relishing in a cup of water at the bedside.

“That I couldn’t make you cum and you’ll do it” the pangs of disappointment oozed into his voice, the confliction of what he knew was going to happen frustrated  him yet sent a new wave of tingles rushing southward

This was fast becoming your favourite punishment for Yoongi for two reasons

1.       His pride and selfishness made it torture for him if he wasn’t the one causing you to writhe in pleasure

2.       To him it was the sexiest thing to watch and he’d end up frustrated and turned on again.

“You got it, you’ll have to listen to me moaning and touching myself when it could have been you if you did as you were told”

His body heavy with defeat against the bed as his eyes hollowed with dread and anticipation as they followed your every move as you shuffled up and laid down next to him, lightly pushing him on his side, he took your hint and rolled on his side facing away from you.

“You only deserve to hear me baby” you tease littering his shoulder blades with heavy kisses.

“You’re such a tease” he breathed.

“Mmhmm” you murmured already tracing your fingers through yourself. Fuck you were so wet honing in on your clit as you put yourself on your side and got as close to him as you could. He was going to feel every ministration of your hand as your hand brushed against his skin and your hips pushing forward slowly driving him up the wall of tease you loved to make him climb. He was going to hear all the explicit sweet nothings of you whimpering how much you much you wanted it to be his cock feeling your walls instead. How you wanted his fingers massaging your clit.

“Christ” he mumbled, barely audible through his face diving into the pillow as you cried out his name as you came over your own fingers. Your body jerking and your legs muscles tensing riding out your high.

 “I’m going to take a cold shower before you make me do something you’ll only punish me for” he announced with a sense of exhausted cheekiness, chucking himself away from you leaving you with the devilish smirk. He didn’t complain about his punishment, at all. Opting to just try and cool down, you waited a few minutes before shuffling your way through the damp covers and followed him to the bathroom.

His main bathroom was exquisite, failing to find a different word worthy of the bathroom. Even the shower was majestic. The cubicle itself was large and oblong, at one end was a sauna like wooded slated bench just out of reach of the water; that was unless you turned a separate shower head on above the bench. The main waterfall shower head was centre of one of the longer walls surrounded by grey marble tiling only covered partially by the gold coloured shelving with copious bottles of skin, hair and body washes.

 All that luxury was nothing compared to a bare Yoongi with his back to you dousing himself in water, the particles coating his skin. His behind still bearing your marks was sculpted by years of dancing; whether he like to dance or not you were certainly grateful.

“You can turn the cold off” your hands soaking up the contact from his sides, the freezing splashes rebounding off you, goose bumping your skin instantly. His hair flat against his forehead water using the strands as a runway before it landed on his chest and trailing down even further to his half erect member. This was soon remedied to full as your hands teased him

“Please don’t tease me anymore” he voice desperate and energy drained passing through a pleasing sweet smile.

“I’m done” he conceded, your skin left his as you feigned shock.

“Well I came here because I was going to let you sort that out” head dropping in the direction of his groin. “Any way you wanted seeing as you accepted your punishment with such grace but if you’re done then…” you turned in a deliberate slow movement to leave.

“Well that changes my status of done” his hand slid to secure yours, the pair of you had mirrored smug grins.

“I thought it might!” you detached yourself from him again and took a few cautious steps over to the sauna style seating at one end of the shower.

“So how do you want me” you toyed teasingly bending over hands resting on the bench giving him an eyeful he enjoyed.  After a light chuckle diffused into a hungry glare he answered

“Right there” he affirmed through a groan as he pressed into you from behind, hands trailing up your back finding their grip at the back of your neck and hair.

“And I want you crying my name out” he added with a hard thrust knocking your forward through your own pleasurable whine.

“You better make me then”

    Chapter 01: Leading, Managing, and Following

 MULTIPLE CHOICE

      1.   A nurse manager of a 20-bed medical unit finds that 80% of the patients are older adults. She is asked to assess and adapt the unit to better meet the unique needs of older adult patients. According to complexity principles, what would be the best approach to take in making this change?

a.

Leverage the hierarchical  management position to get unit staff involved in assessment and planning.

b.

Engage involved staff at  all levels in the decision-making process.

c.

Focus the assessment on  the unit, and omit the hospital and community environment.

d.

Hire a geriatric  specialist to oversee and control the project.

  ANS:  B

Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision-making occurs throughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity theory, everybody’s opinion counts; therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in decision-making.

      2.   A unit manager of a 25-bed medical/surgical area receives a phone call from a nurse who has called in sick five times in the past month. He tells the manager that he very much wants to come to work when scheduled but must often care for his wife, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. In practice of a strengths-based nursing leader, what would be the best approach to satisfying the needs of this nurse, other staff, and patients?

a.

Line up agency nurses who  can be called in to work on short notice.

b.

Place the nurse on unpaid  leave for the remainder of his wife’s treatment.

c.

Sympathize with the  nurse’s dilemma and let the charge nurse know that this nurse may be calling  in frequently in the future.

d.

Work with the nurse,  staffing office, and other nurses to arrange his scheduled days off around  his wife’s treatments.

  ANS:  D

Placing the nurse on unpaid leave may threaten physiologic needs and demotivate the nurse. Unsatisfactory coverage of shifts on short notice could affect patient care and threaten staff members’ sense of competence. Strengths-based nurse leaders honour the uniqueness of individuals, teams, systems, and organizations; therefore, arranging the schedule around the wife’s needs would result in a win-win situation, also creating a work environment that promotes the nurses’ health and facilitates their development.

      3.   A grievance brought by a staff nurse against the unit manager requires mediation. At the first mediation session, the staff nurse repeatedly calls the unit manager’s actions unfair, and the unit manager continues to reiterate the reasons for the actions. What would be the best course of action at this time?

a.

Send the two disputants  away to reach their own resolution.

b.

Involve another staff  nurse in the discussion so as to clarify issues.

c.

Ask each party to examine  her own motives and issues in the conflict.

d.

Continue to listen as the  parties repeat their thoughts and feelings about the conflict.

  ANS:  C

Nurses and leaders must assess each situation as unique, determining appropriate actions accordingly. Leaders must adapt their styles to complement specific issues being faced, such as conflict. Examining motives and issues for the conflict in perceptions promotes equal representation of each point of view.

      4.   Shortly after being informed of fetal death, a labouring woman asks why she is not able to hear her baby’s heartbeat on the monitor anymore. Although the monitor volume had been turned off so that the patient would be able to sleep between contractions, the nurse responded that there was no heartbeat to hear because the baby had died in utero; then the nurse asked whether the patient would like to talk about how she was feeling. This response demonstrates

a.

lack of empathy.

b.

ethical leadership.

c.

complexity science.

d.

a coercive relationship.

  ANS:  B

Ethical leadership is based on a willingness to identify and act on complex problems in an ethical manner. Leadership can be misused when coercive relationships form, and information and true goals are withheld.

      5.   The manager of a surgical area envisions a future that requires the addition of registered nurse (RN) assistants or unlicensed persons to feed, bathe, and walk patients. The RNs on the staff have always practiced in a primary nursing-delivery system and are very resistant to this idea. The best initial strategy in this situation would include

a.

exploring the values of  the RNs in relation to this change.

b.

leaving the RNs alone for  a time so they can think about the change before they are approached again.

c.

dropping the idea and  trying for the change in another year or so.

d.

hiring the assistants and  allowing the RNs to see what good additions they are.

  ANS:  A

Leadership involves engaged decision-making around a vision that is based on evidence and tacit knowledge. Influencing others requires emotional intelligence in domains such as empathy and handling relationships.

      6.   As the charge nurse on the night shift in a small long-term care facility, you have found that there is little turnover among your licensed practical nurse and nursing assistant (NA) staff members, but they are not very motivated to work beyond their job descriptions. Which of the following strategies might motivate the staff and lead to greater job satisfaction?

a.

Ask the director of  nursing to offer higher wages and bonuses for extra work for the night  licensed practical nurses and NAs.

b.

Allow the licensed  practical nurses and NAs greater decision-making power within the scope of  their positions in the institution.

c.

Help the licensed  practical nurses and NAs with their work, whenever possible.

d.

Ask the director of  nursing to increase job security for night staff by having them sign  contracts that guarantee work.

  ANS:  B

A nurse leader should provide an environment conducive to opinion sharing that involves staff in decision-making at all levels. This approach is shown to increase job satisfaction. Decision-making and the corresponding actions taken are core tasks performed in engagement with co-workers.

      7.   As the nurse manager, you want to increase motivation by providing motivating factors. Which action would you select?

a.

Collaborate with the human  resources/personnel department to develop on-site daycare services.

b.

Provide a hierarchical  organizational structure.

c.

Implement a model of  shared governance.

d.

Promote the development of  a flexible benefits package.

  ANS:  C

Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision-making occurs throughout systems, as opposed to being made unilaterally by different levels of the organizational hierarchy. In complexity theory, every person’s opinion counts, and therefore all levels of staff would be involved in decision-making. This principle underlies shared governance. Shared governance is an example of nurse decision-making in which nurses at different organizational levels engage in shaping policy and practices.

      8.   A charge nurse on a busy 40-bed medical/surgical unit is approached by a patient’s son, who begins to complain loudly about the quality of care his mother is receiving. His behaviour is so disruptive that it is overheard by staff, physicians, and other visitors. The family member rejects any attempt to intervene therapeutically to resolve the issue. He leaves the unit abruptly, and the nurse is left feeling frustrated. Which behaviour by the charge nurse best illustrates refined leadership skills in an emotionally intelligent practitioner?

a.

Reflection to obtain  insight into how the situation could be handled differently in the future

b.

Trying to catch up with  the angry family member to resolve the concern

c.

Discussing the concern  with the patient after the family member has left

d.

Notifying nursing  administration of the situation

  ANS:  A

Emotional intelligence is closely aligned with individuals’ capacity to know themselves and others. Reflecting to obtain insight and being able to “step” outside the situation to envision the context of what is happening is an example of the actions of an emotionally intelligent practitioner.

      9.   The chief nursing officer has asked the staff development coordinator to facilitate the development of a clinical competency program for the facility. While making rounds on the units, the staff development coordinator overhears RN staff complaining that they believe it is insulting to be required to participate in a competency program. Which behaviour by the staff development coordinator is most appropriate in this situation?

a.

Disregard staff concerns  and continue with development of the program.

b.

Inform the nurses that  this program is a requirement for accreditation by the Joint Commission on  Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).

c.

Schedule a meeting with  the chief nurse executive to apprise her of the situation.

d.

Facilitate a meeting so  nurses can articulate their values and concerns about a competency program.

  ANS:  D

The manager role involves guiding other people through a set of derived practices that are evidence-informed and known to satisfy preestablished outcomes such as participation in a competency program. This involves engagement of staff through sharing of concerns and ideas. This type of leader can instill hope and trust in followers, which influence their behaviours and attitudes (such as engagement and satisfaction) and cause work environments to become more positive.

a.

is accurately reflected in  the new graduate’s statement.

b.

would benefit from further  understanding of her role as a professional in relation to decision-making.

c.

has been influenced by  nurse leaders and managers who leave for other positions.

d.

is related to the general  perception that nurse leaders and managers are not satisfied in their jobs.

  ANS:  B

Decision-making and the corresponding actions taken are core work performed in engagement with co-workers. This core work requires that nurses be leaders, managers, and followers at the point-of-care, unit, institutional, and even societal levels.

    12.   You walk into a patient’s room and find him yelling at the licensed practical nurse. The patient is obviously very upset, and after you speak with him regarding his behaviour, you determine that he has not slept for three nights because of unrelieved pain levels. The licensed practical nurse is very upset with him and calls him an “ugly, old man.” You acknowledge her feelings and concerns and then suggest that the patient’s behaviour was aggressive but is related to lack of sleep and to pain. You ask, “Can both you and the patient together determine triggers for the pain and effective approaches to controlling his pain?” This approach demonstrates

a.

lack of empathy and  understanding for the licensed practical nurse.

b.

concern with placating the  patient.

c.

leadership behaviour.

d.

management behaviour.

  ANS:  C

The situation between the patient and the licensed practical nurse is complex, involving unrelieved symptoms and aggressiveness toward a staff member. Health care is now delivered in a collaborative and, most often, an interdisciplinary manner, whereby select leadership/management roles (e.g., first-line nurse leaders) serve as conduits for information and care coordination. Providing engaged, collaborative guidance and decision-making in a complex situation for which there is no standardized solution reflects leadership.
