Summary Introduction

Case summary:

Person X worked in the emergency department of a reputed hospital. The hospital had a good relationship with the patients but one incident made the life of the patient at risk.

An 8 year old child patient called Person E came with a right forearm fracture. The ED protocol states that a person must always be there with the child to take care because of diazepam sedation. The assisted doctor was working for more than 14 hours, hence, he asked the nurse to do the procedures. The nurse was a fresh graduate and is not comfortable in giving drugs and also, she does not wish to disturb the doctor.

However, she went and gave the dose against the protocol. The action of the nurse undermined the safety of the patient and this led to the act of negligence by both the doctor and the nurse.

Characters in the case:

  • Person E: The patient
  • Person X: The employee of the hospital.
  • Doctor
  • Nurse

To discuss:

The communication skills that are needed for Person X to ensure that shee is performing as a competent, responsible member of the patient care team.
