Question 1: Given her reaction to the incident with Mr. Avery, Nurse Jones feels that it is not a good idea to continue as Rita's primary. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Nurse Jones realizes that the therapeutic relationship with the Avery's has been compromised and that her emotional state may affect her ability to adequately perform her duties.
Question 2: Upon recognizing that her responses to the incident with Mr. Avery might have roots in her own past abusive relationship, what steps toward healing might Nurse Jones take?
She should probably seek counseling to help her deal with unresolved issues. The decision to seek counseling should be confidential and taken up with the organization's Employee Assistance Program, a primary care provider or private therapist, but not the supervisor.
