Group 2, Question 1: The Nurse Who Wants to Care for a Relative
The nurse is working the 7p-7a shift as the night charge nurse. On the last evening she worked, one of her peers challenged the nursing assignment for the shift because the charge nurse did not assign her to care for client John Doe. The nurse specifically requested to care for Mr. Doe because she felt with the staffing shortage, he would not receive good care and she wanted to avoid problems for the institution from her family. The charge nurse noted that the client was the nurses’ brother-in-law.
The charge nurse refused to change the assignment and cautioned the nurse not to review the client’s information nor ask to request confidential information from the care nurse as there were no signed documents giving her permission to access this information from the client. The nurse, after yelling and screaming in the report room at the charge nurse, then threatened to report the charge nurse to the nurse manager and to hospital administration for her “dumb decisions.” Respond to the following questions about this situation.
Group 2, Question 2: Appropriately Refusing an Assignment

The nurse is receiving his or her assignments and now considers the assignments to be inappropriate. The nurse decides to refuse the assignment but does not seek to get someone else to take the assignment. Answer the following questions about this situation.
I HAVE ANSWER THE FOUR QUESTIONS IN FOUR DIFFERENT TAPS SEARCH FOR THE QUESTION IF INTERESTED
In the nursing profession, there are situations where nurses may need to make decisions about refusing assignments that they consider inappropriate. It is essential for nurses to carefully evaluate the circumstances and follow the appropriate procedures to ensure patient safety and uphold professional standards. In this essay, we will address the questions related to a nurse refusing an assignment without seeking a replacement, including the considerations prior to accepting or rejecting the assignment, the procedure for refusing an assignment according to the nurse practice act, the ANA code of ethics components supporting the decision, and an outline for an in-service presentation on accepting assignments.
The nurse should have taken into account the following questions before making the decision:
Does the assignment align with the nurse’s scope of practice and competency?
Are there any safety concerns or risks associated with the assignment?
Does the nurse have the necessary resources and support to fulfill the assignment effectively?
Will the refusal of the assignment have any immediate impact on patient care or the overall workload of the nursing team?
According to the nurse practice act in most states, nurses should follow these general steps when refusing an assignment:
Inform the immediate supervisor or charge nurse about concerns regarding the assignment.
Provide a clear rationale for refusing the assignment, citing any conflicts with professional standards, policies, or safety concerns.
Collaborate with the supervisor to find a suitable alternative, if possible, or ensure appropriate coverage is arranged to maintain patient care.
The ANA code of ethics provides guidance for nurses in making decisions related to patient care. In this situation, the nurse’s decision to refuse the assignment aligns with the following components of the code:
Provision 2: The nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient, ensuring safe and quality care.
Provision 4: The nurse has the authority and responsibility to make decisions regarding nursing practice to protect patients and promote their health.
Provision 5: The nurse owes the same duties to self as to others, including maintaining personal safety and well-being.
