CASE BACKGROUNDMGMT Hospital Inc is a private concern that recently opened its doors to the public in the suburbs amidst heavy traffic. There are hardly any quiet nights. Sirens are a constant feature. However, once inside, there is just the hustle and bustle of hospital staff going back and forth. A hospitalreadmission is when a patient who is discharged from the hospital, is re-admitted again within a certain period of time. Hospital readmission rates for certain conditions are now considered an indicator of hospital quality, and also affect the cost of care adversely. For this reason, Centers forMedicare & Medicaid Services established the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) which aims to improve quality of care for patients and reduce health care spending by applying payment penalties to hospitals that have more than expected readmission rates for certain conditions. Although diabetes is not yet included in the penalty measures, the program is regularly adding new…

You are the palliative care nurse. Mrs. Jones has been living with congestive heart failure for some time and has been receiving palliative care in the home setting for about a year. Her activity tolerance has decreased to the point she can only move from one room to the other in in her home with her oxygen at 4 liters. She is able to sleep in her recliner.

Situation:   On 17 July the nurse was at work and made comments to colleagues to the effect that she had helped the deceased to die, that she was proud of this, and that she believed in euthanasia, believed that it should be discussed, and more of it should occur. She referred to herself as the angel of death, and as Dr Kevorkian. When questioned about these statements by her employer, the respondent admitted that the morphine she had administered to the deceased was not a normal dose, because she was not going to let the deceased suffer, and said that she had acted in the best interests of the deceased. Following this, her employment was terminated on about 26 August 2014. Her registration as an enrolled nurse expired on 30 May 2015. At the hearing she said that she had not worked since, as a nurse or otherwise.      Question: What is a summary of the main points and key findings that specifically relate to the overarching professional responsibilities of the Registered Nurse?
