You are a nurse manager for a 30-bed pediatric unit in a large urban hospital. According to the patient classification system used by the hospital, the level of acuity of pediatric patients on your unit is consistently very high, and the patient census averages 26. The only pediatric oncologist in town practices at your hospital and has told you in the past that he preferred to have his patients admitted to your unit because of the quality of nursing care provided, thus the unit always has a high number of pediatric patients with cancer. Additionally, two pediatric surgeons have told you that they prefer the care provided in your unit versus that at the other hospital in town. However, recently, there has been an increase in the number of complaints from families—twice in the past week—and one of the physicians has come to your office to talk about patient care problems. You also sense increased tension and dissatisfaction among the RNs because you have had to fill some vacant RN positions with LVNs or nursing assistants.
As you analyze the problem, you note the following facts:
In the past, the unit used the primary nursing care delivery model, but with the changes in staff mix, the unit went to a team nursing model. However, when you review how assignments have been made over the past month, you find that the charge nurse has been assigning patient care according to tasks. When you ask her about the change in assignment patterns, she states that this was done because they have been so busy and short-staffed, assignment by tasks seems to be the only way to get everything done.

A 75-year-old patient at a licensed healthcare provider care center suffered from diabetes, dementia, coronary artery disease, immobile decubitus ulcers (bedsores), and was unable to walk, talk, or feed herself. Her physician prescribed a daily whirlpool bath as a medical treatment for the decubitus ulcers. The facility did not have a whirlpool, so she was given a regular daily bath. A certified nursing assistant prepared a bath for the patient and placed her in hot water that was 138 degrees and that subsequently caused severe burns from which she died three days later.
A wrongful death action was brought. Parties settled before trial for $1.5 million. Although the vignette is based on this case, do not consult the case for additional facts. Answer each question based on the facts presented in the vignette.
