Question

Tower 6 East is a 45-bed medical unit. The nurse leader, Ciera, is a new leader, and one of the measures of her performance is based on the number of medication errors reported on her unit. As a result, she has told everyone very clearly that she will not tolerate errors and that she wants the unit to have zero medication errors each month. When an error does occur, she meets individually with the nurse, writes up the nurse's error, and puts a report in the nurse's performance review files. She has put two nurses on performance probation thus far. As a result, the nurses on the unit are afraid to report when an error occurs, and they have begun to cover for each other and not report errors. You are a staff nurse on the unit and you want to serve as a leader and create a blame-free environment. In your response, address the following: Identify and explain whether Ciera's leadership style toward medication errors on the nursing unit is appropriate and explain why. Then, provide at least one outcome result from Ciera's leadership approach on the nursing unit. (Yoder-Wise, P. (2019, p.498) Leading and managing in nursing (7th ed.). Mosby Elsevier. Explain what leadership style you would use to effect change in this scenario. Using the Paradiso & Sweeney article "Just culture: It's more than policy", explain a just culture and how a just culture might influence the outcome of medication errors on the unit.
