David, who has suffered from ALS for twenty years, is now hospitalized in a private religious hospital on a respirator. He spoke with his physician before he became incapacitated and asked that he be allowed to die if the suffering became too much for him. The physician agreed that, while he would not give David any drugs to assist a suicide, he would discontinue David’s respirator if asked to do so. David has now indicated through a prearranged code of blinking eye movements that he wants the respirator discontinued. David had signed his living will before he became ill, indicating that he did not want extraordinary means keeping him alive. The nursing staff has alerted the hospital administrator about the impending discontinuation of the respirator. The administrator tells the physician that this is against the hospital’s policy. She states that once a patient is placed on a respirator, the family must seek a court order to have him or her removed from this type of life support. In addition, it is against hospital policy to have any staff members present during such a procedure. After consulting with the family, the physician orders an ambulance to transport the patient back to his home, where the physician discontinues the life support.

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.
