A new policy was posted on the nurse’s station of the nursery. The sign read, “to protect patient privacy and confidentiality, no families or patients are allowed beyond this point”. The evening nurse read the policy and proceeded to care for the babies. It was an especially busy evening, and one of the infants, whose family had a difficult time coming to the hospital, needed attention and feeding. The nurse, who was behind in charting, decided to take the infant to the nurse’s station and chart while holding and feeding the baby. She was approached by the charge nurse, who informed her of the policy and asked her to kindly comply. The nurse took the baby back to the room for care and then stayed overtime to finish charting and other work.
what do you think of the policy?
Do conditions change the interpretation of a policy?
what else could have been done in this situation?
