1. As the team leader on the floor where you practice nursing, you are covering another RN’s group of patients while she is away at lunch. As you make your rounds, you notice her LPN (who is not certified for IV medication administration) administering a syringe of fluid via an IV line to a patient.

3. Is there a nursing practice violation? If so, what is it?
4. What regulations and/or standards address these issues?
5. How does licensure and certification apply to this case study?
6. What purpose would an incident report play in this scenario?

: A 73-year-old female admitted to hospital with aspiration pneumonia and sepsis. Past medical history of multiple CVA’s, PEG tube feeding, multiple pressure ulcers. Patient able to open eyes but not able to follow any commands or respond verbally. Patient came to hospital from home with her wife. On admission, the wife was adamant that the patient be a full code. Wife seemed to be unclear regarding patient’s current medical/functional condition, and the health care team felt that due to unrealistic expectations of the wife, the patient was suffering. The team was struggling with the goals of care that were demanded. Goals of care were only changed when a new physician took over the care of the patient and was willing to intervene.

Questions: What are some of the ethical issues in this case?

• Must the physician/health care team acquiesce to all demands by a substitute decision-maker? What were the reasons she provided for wanting “full code”?
• What would the patient want in this case if she could tell the team? What would it mean to support her wishes?
• What reasons were given by the first physician to not make the patient full code? And from the second physician for agreeing to full code?
