Based from the below-mentioned criteria in resolving conflicts, create a conflict management and resolution document using a case study format. Please see attached rubrics for details. Case Situation: Workplace Violence in the Nurses Station Carlo is a newly-hired staff nurse at King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU). He is assigned in the Male Medical Ward, which is situated in the 3rd floor. Carlo had been in the area for less than six (6) months. Despite of being the newest addition to the roster of staff nurses in the ward, he was handling the most difficult cases in the area and increase number of patients per shift compared to other staff nurses on duty. Carlo never complained of the situation. Instead, he decided to keep silent and continue what he is doing. One day, Carlo had an argument with Marvin, his senior staff nurse on duty, about Carlo being the favorite of their unit manager and supervisors because he often gets good working schedules and been receiving a lot of excellent feedback from both the nurse managers and patients. After their confrontation, Marvin started creating malicious and negative issues towards Carlo. Since the staff nurses were convinced of Marvin’s wrong accusations and comments, they have started to dislike Carlo and been throwing unnecessary comments and jokes about him up to the point that Carlo had been the subject of their laughing stock verbally and through their social networking account like Facebook and Twitter. Carlo was outcasted every shift. He was alone all the time and started to be demotivated about his work. In 2 weeks’ time, Carlo had been absent five (5) times and been late most of the time, which is very unusual to him because he is known to be the early bird among the staff nurses in the ward. After a month, Carlo submitted a letter to the unit manager asking for a transfer of area or if not he will just resign from the hospital.
