Group 1: Patient Discharge Scuffle
Description
Mr. Smith (the patient) has fractured his leg as a result of a workplace accident. There is conflict in the care that is to be given as the Nurses are trying to discharge Mr.Smith as soon as possible as that is what the doctor has instructed. However, the Disability Worker, Social Worker & Occupational Health and Safety Worker disagree with the nurses as they believe the patient needs to stay in the hospital for a couple more days as he is not yet ready to go home due to his lack of support and resources.
