Document Summary
Please consider these cases from the perspective of an rn. Case study 1: you are a first-year graduate and you have been working night duty for 3 weeks. Associate nurse unit manager is also working with you. One night she decides to distribute the medication to many of the patients as you are busy with a particularly ill patient. When you return to the nurse"s office while the associate charge is at supper, you observe that a patient has called for assistance. The patient informs you that he is in pain. Upon reading his medication chart you note that he has not received analgesia recently. You dispense the tablets and sign the patient"s chart. When the associate charge nurse returns to the ward you casually mention that you have administered analgesia to a patient. She immediately becomes agitated and states that she had already given him analgesia.
