You are the Chief Executive Officer at a small non-profit
community hospital. In January the area was hit by a large snow storm while you
were vacationing in the Bahamas. Many of the hospital staff who provided
patient care called out from work on the 3-11 and 11-7 shifts. Despite efforts
from the nurse managers to get relief staff, only one nurse agreed to come in.
As a result, the patient units were understaffed and health care personnel on
day shift were required to remain on their assigned unit until they were
relieved from duty.

During the course of this occurrence several patients
sustained minor injuries from falls out of bed and one patient was given the
incorrect medication, resulting in death. The nurse on duty left the hospital
to buy dinner at the corner Wendyâ??s Restaurant.

After one year, the families of these patients sued the
hospital on behalf of their deceased relatives, and you are one of the parties
mentioned in the suit. The hospital refused liability, stating that: the
patients who sustained a fall were awake, oriented and experienced no
limitation in mobility; the patient who was given the incorrect medication died
not from staff negligence, but from an unidentified allergic reaction to a food
substance and had no history of allergies.
