Scenario 2 - Managing a Shift
You are the nurse in charge of the ward on Monday morning and you also have your own team of patients to care for. On your team you also have another staff nurse and 2 HCAs.A ward round is in progress, one of your patients is due to go to endoscopy at 0930, you have an important meeting to attend at 1000 and have to organise 3 discharges for this afternoon. You have 3 patients who still require a bed bath. Suddenly at 0900 the emergency buzzer goes- one of your patients has arrested.
