Scenario

Staff Nurse: Thank you for agreeing to talk to me about the discussion we had the other day about assigning patient load. As I started to say in the meeting, but got interrupted, is that I really donât like the new plan that we have. I liked the old one better. I donât understand why we need to change.

Leader: You did get to express one concern about visiting patients in Iron Ridge and that is the communityâs high crime rate. We all recognize this issue, and I do understand. But the new patient assignment scheme is meant to match you with patients who will most benefit from your specialty, and not where you live geographically. There are many patients in Iron Ridge who have diabetes that need your expertise.

Staff Nurse: Wellâ¦ I really do love my patients and I donât hold it against them that they live in a bad part of town. But frankly, Iâm afraid! Every night when I watch the news, there is somebody thatâs been involved in a shooting or a carjacking. I talked to my husband about it and he said that if you insist I go over there, he wants me to quit. Itâs not safe!

Leader: [audible pause] I have an idea I would like to explore with you. What if we sent an escort to accompany you on your visits? Would this help you feel safer in that neighborhood?

Staff nurse: Sure, it would, but do you think thatâs realistic? The last I heard, we didnât have any money to give us nurses raises and bonuses. I mean, do we even have the budget for something like security?

Leader: Itâs realistic as long as I can justify the safety of our nurses. Letâs say the cost is not a barrier to this scheme. What do you think? Staff Nurse: [hesitation] Please let me think about it. I need to talk to my husband, too. I canât decide right now, but youâve given me something to consider.

At times the needs of our families conflict with our work responsibilities. Could this possibly be the underlying issue here?

1)Explain the conflict resolution skills displayed by the leader in the scenario. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate those of the leader.

2)How might earlier collaboration have been beneficial?

3)Some organizations utilize non Registered Nurses in the Case Manager role. What additional skills, knowledge and attributes would the BSN-prepared Registered Nurse bring to case management in this scenario?

Will, Nancy, Lee and Bobbie have just inherited a group of entities from their recently deceased parents. They are trying to decide how to structure them and who should run them. One entity called FINCO is focused on providing financial products and investments to consumers who generally use the financial products to buy services or products performed or produced by one of the other entities. Another of the entities is called PRODCO which makes products essential to every persons life which are only made available to registered distributors. The third entity, DEALCO, is a registered distributor for PRODCO and also providees essential services and maintenance for the products made by PRODCO. 100% of the ownership of all three of these entities is owned equally by the four siblings. The four siblings agree that Will should take charge of FINCO, that Lee should take charge of DEALCO, and that their cousin Richard should run PRODCO. Will succesfully runs FINCO for a number of years generating double digit returns on the capital in the entity until suddenly there is a major loss in investment made by Will without consultation with the other siblings because of a major international market correction causing all of FINCO's liquidity to evaporate. During this same time period, Lee has been doing a blockbuster business with DEALCO making lots of money and buying cars, planes, vacation homes, and other things for the exclusive use of the management of DEALCO. When FINCO suddenly no longer has the liquidity to lend to DEALCO's clientele, they can no longer afford to buy the products. Lee continues to ignore the problem and enjoys living the life of luxury on the assets of DEALCO to the exclusion of his siblings. Richard has been slaving away for his cousins all these years at PRODCO without any bonuses or salary increases and does not feel he has been adequately compensated so he decides to help himself to $5 million of PRODCO's money and flees to Paraguay where he bribes the local officials not to arrest him. Nancy nad Bobbie, who have never been actively involved in the operations of any of the entities want help from you. In identifying the legal issues presented also consider what questions you might need to ask Nancy and Bobbie.
