Requirements: 

You are a family nurse practitioner working in an outpatient primary care office of a large hospital system.

In that short amount of time, you have witnessed several of the clinical staff engaging in heated arguments with each other, sometimes in patient areas. You overhear an argument occurring today between two staff. You pick up a patient’s chart and notice a very low blood pressure that the medical assistant failed to notify you about. When you confront the MA, she states that she was going to report the vital signs to you when she became engaged in the heated argument you overheard and forgot to notify you.

 All jobs have some form of office conflict amongst the staff. There are different personalities within these jobs and different opinions. According to Clark, “Harm from disrespect has been identified as the next frontier in patient safety efforts. Disrespectful and uncivil behaviors in healthcare settings can have detrimental effects on individuals, teams, organizations, and patient safety—including life-threatening mistakes, preventable complications, or harm to a patient (Clark, 2019).”….please click the icon below to purchase the answer at $10
