Nursing is a challenging profession, adapting and overcoming changes, implementations and handling difficult situations. The “annual rate of violent victimization for nurses and physicians was 8.1 and 10.1, respectively, per 1,000 workers compared with 5.1 for all occupations” (Copeland, 2017). Every day nurses, doctors, and health care providers are abused in some way and I want it to stop. I was inspired by this project idea from a recent situation of workplace violence. Actually, for the last few months, I have been faced with difficult situations including confrontation, being yelled at, and called terrible names that no one should deal with, all while just trying to do my job. The most recent situation that I was involved in was where I was verbally abused and yelled at and no actions were taken but giving in to the patient’s unruly behaviors. Luckily my shift was over after an hour of dealing with a packed Emergency Department with over 20 patients in the lobby and no beds available for this patient. We were attempting to get her evaluated and then moved to a bed in the Emergency Department. I want to feel safe and protected at work and I don’t want to fear going into work. My initial project idea was to have a zero-tolerance policy and have these patients in any shape or form taken off hospital grounds and I know this sounds cruel but the violence has to stop. This idea seemed doable at the time but due to multiple issues, patients cannot be removed from a hospital if medical care is needed. I have learned that workplace violence has to be taken seriously and professionally. With the current research that I have collected, policy assessments and current policies in place; I have learned that a policy is only a guide and that real-life situations/scenarios happen. My intent now is to revise current policies in place, add educational tools and training and improve our “Code Grey” response with inter collaboration. These changes may be minor but if I can help save one health care provider’s life, the fight will be worth it.

2. Outline assessment strategies to screen for this issue and external stressors during an assessment for an adolescent patient. Describe what additional assessment questions you would need to ask and define the ethical parameters regarding what you can and cannot share with the parent or guardian.
3. Discuss support options for adolescents encountering external stressors. Include specific support options for the contemporary issue you presented.

 In the Asian culture, there is often a belief that terminally ill patients should not be informed about their prognosis. Would you respect the cultural practice and not inform a patient about the prognosis? Is there a way for health care providers to balance the patient’s right to know with respect for the cultural practices and beliefs of the family? Is not fully disclosing information to the patient an ethical breach?

Upon completion, summarize and share with your group what you learned about your specific leadership qualities, so you can become familiar with how you are similar and different from your peers when it comes to being a leader.

As a group, review the study materials related to servant leadership. Using what you have learned about the tenets of servant leadership and traits and practices of successful leaders, create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Add an additional slide for references at the end of your presentation.  

Include the following in your presentation:

·  Create a slide that summarizes your leadership style, traits, and practices and submit to student one (DEMOCRATIC OR PARTICIPATIVE LEADERSHIP STYLE)
