You are the house supervisor in an acute care hospital. Most of the units are full. The ED request 2 admissions to the step-down unit. The floor with appropriate and empty beds has only 4 RNs on duty for this 30-bed unit with a census of 20 patients. The charge nurse (one of the 4 nurses present) tells you that they can’t safely admit any more patients. You currently have no more float pool staff and upper administration has already said no to closing the unit for admissions at this time. What should be done? What is the ethical dilemma? How does this impact patient care? What possible solutions are there for this situation? Using the scenario prepare a 5 minute healthcare skit through which the roles of RN, LVN/LPN, AND UAP can be played out. Clear differentiation of roles and legal scope of practice should be apparent in the skit. The skit should include examples of appropriate delegation.
