You are a new graduate working in a nursing unit. You started working about 1 month ago and are still on orientation and working with a preceptor, Bill. You've noticed Bill staring at you sometimes and recently he started making remarks about your appearance. His remarks include statements such as, "Too bad those scrubs are baggy, but if you tuck your shirt into your pants you could show off that nice body." You do not want sexual attention from Bill and start feeling this sense of dread before each work shift. 1. Identify the problem or issue central to the case study. 2. Explain how this problem or issue affects the comfort or safety of a person or group such as coworkers or patients. 3. Describe an appropriate and professional response to the situation. 4. Describe the ideal outcome you anticipate after their response (i.e., a good outcome). 5. Describe the next step to take if the actual outcome is not appropriate (i.e., a bad outcome).
