Introduction
The principles of leadership nursing constructs the model for understanding the challenges of health care practice within health care organization. The dimensions that analyze the problem in the case below is effectively built in root cause analysis establishing the cause of the problem in a bid to map out the solutions within the management and execution of health care principles. Once the cause is identified and a plan of action established it is useful to conduct a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to reduce the likelihood that a process would fail. As a member of the healthcare team in the hospital described in this scenario you have been selected as a member of the team investigating the incident.
Root Cause Analysis
From the case it is evident that the nurses in the hospital were few and overwhelmed leading to ineffective approach to treating Mr. B. Nurse J is now fully engaged with the emergency care of the respiratory distress patient which includes assessments evaluation and the ordering respiratory treatments CXR labs. According to Braaksma Klingenberg & Veldman (2013) the fundamental challenge of understanding the problems is to underscore the extent to which the problem in Mr Bs case was formalized. In light of this it is imperative to note that the problem of ineffective health care evidenced in the hospital is caused by inadequate staffing in the emergency wing in the hospital. Lack of adequate staffing is synonymous to inefficiencies in addressing the vast challenges and demands evident in the emergency room (Chen 2003). This is informed by Respiratory therapy is in-house and available as needed. At the time of Mr. Bs arrival the ED staff is caring for two other patients. One patient is a 43-year-old female complaining of a throbbing headache. The patient rates current pain at four out of ten on numerical verbal pain scale.
With the evident workforce issues as well as patient safety at stake it is evident that the culture of nursing care in the hospital does not map out the ethical tenets of responsive health care administration hence producing reduced and undesired outcomes of health care delivery (Fibuch and Ahmed 2014). Evident from the case it is plausible to note that the patient states that she has a history of migraines. She received treatment remains stable and discharge is pending. The second patient is an eight-year-old boy being evaluated for possible appendicitis. Laboratory results are pending for this patient. Both of these patients were examined evaluated and cared for by the ED physician and are awaiting further treatment or orders.
