Nursing Leadership Problem Scenario 1:
Setting: 5 West, a 35-bed medical-surgical unit at a large urban hospital.
Characters:
Sarah: A recently hired nurse manager with a strong focus on patient safety and evidence-based practice implementation. Dr. Chen: A well-respected physician known for demanding high-quality care from nurses. Ben: A veteran nurse with 15 years of experience on the unit, known for his preference for established routines and resistance to change.

Leadership Challenge:
Sarah, the new nurse manager, needs to address these recurring issues by implementing a systemic approach that promotes patient safety, fosters open communication, and encourages staff collaboration.

Shift Communication: Information regarding potential fall risks and medication changes isn’t always effectively communicated between shifts, creating gaps in patient safety protocols. Fear of Blame: A culture of blame exists within the unit, discouraging staff from reporting near misses or errors. This hinders learning
