Scenario Two It has been a little over a year since you accepted your nurse management position at a local 2023

 Scenario Two: It has been a little over a year since you accepted your nurse management position at a local pediatrics office. Since then, you have observed that many nurses seem uneasy when they work with one of your top physicians. You wonder why so many nurses are hesitant to work with such an experienced physician, particularly since most of your families rave about her dedication and caring nature toward their children. One day, while taking careful observation of your staff, you watch a nurse take out a patient chart and begin to text. The nurse becomes visibly upset as she sees you approach. When you question her about her behavior, she confides that the physician asks all nurses to text patient test results to her. The nurse admits that she feels uncomfortable sending private information via text message and only did so after multiple requests and increasing pressure from the physician. According to ethical and legal guidelines, who is at fault for this error in judgment? Since the nurse is the employee who sent the information, should action be taken against her, against the physician, or against both parties?

2023 Nursing comment from post 6

Sara I see how challenging being a community health nurse would be Not 2023

Sara, I see how challenging being a community health nurse would be.  Not only is it necessary to assess the needs of the community, but also the community needs to be ready to accept change.  Many times people are so set in their ways that is very difficult to make changes.  As nurses we see so many patients that suffer with preventable disease that many times can be improved with diet and exercise.  It’s frustrating to get so much push back from individuals not willing to make simple changes in their lives to improve their own health.
