Nurse Alex Wubbel: A Case Study
Should an individual be arrested for standing up for someone else who is unconscious? Nurse Alex Wubbel believed that a patient that was unconscious should have a say in if the patient's blood should be scanned for drug or alcohol abuse in a car crash investigation. However, that's not what one of the cops wanted so instead the cop arrested the nurse and stated that she is arrested for denying a wish from the cop. The video for this arresting went viral and people started saying that it was wrong for that cop to arrest the nurse. But the real question is who was in the wrong and what can we learn from this experience?
On July 26, the nurse tells The Associated Press of the incident with the cop arresting her for denying and protecting a patient's

    Disorderly Male Baker Act Case Study

    Therefore, it became necessary for Security staff to go hands on. Security Officers Alonso and Ayuso using MOAB Techniques had to put the patient down on his bed controlling his arms and legs while the nurse administered the medication. The patient struggled a bit attempting to get up but did not escalate the situation to where it was necessary to use soft restraints to control him. After the medication was given the patient was released by Security and he remained calm and did not try to retaliate or fight back. Officers Johnson and Evans kept on eye on patient Montalvo while this was happening and were not forced to go hands on with the second patient. Security Staff stood by until the medication took effect with patient Atsu who was the aggressor during this…

    The Pros And Cons Of Being A Patient Advocate

    Miranda, you did wonderful in this situation. We have all gone through situations like this, and I think as long as we remain nurses situations like this will keep arising. Being an advocate for the patient will never be easy, but we as nurses must keep persevering just like you did. If we allow ourselves to be intimidated by doctors, then our pledge of being a patient advocate will be null. Masters (2017) states “the ability of nurses to think critically and make sound clinical judgments is essential to providing safe, competent, and quality care” (p. 216). You did exactly what was required of you as a nurse, and I believe if you had not been persistent to the point of getting a cardiologist on the case, the outcome would have been dire…

    American Nurses Association Code Of Ethics: Article Analysis

    According to, “The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics”, this document sets standards for nurses. It exemplifies the role of the nurse and duties to be maintained. For instance, patient advocacy is an important factor to the code of ethics. Patient safety is to be a primary goal for the nurse. I believe this is crucial for all nurses to practice. Individuals in the hospital are not necessarily capable of always expressing their needs. Therefore, it is the nurses responsibility to advocate for the patient during times they cannot. For example, one time I was caring for a patient who did not understand their diagnosis. A team of residents came into this person’s room and overwhelmed them with information. Confused, the patient was unable to understand the complexity of the illness. However, I witnessed the nurse advocating for her patient. She stepped in as a voice, making sure the patient’s questions were answered before they left. For a patient it can be quite intimidating when a group of doctors come in talking about a disease process they have never encountered. So, it was satisfying to see the nurse advocate for the patient.…

    Neonatal Nurse: A Case Study

    The website of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) explained thoroughly the job description of a neonatal nurse. For example, the website explained how neonatal nurses patients are infants that are either born healthy or “…infants born with a variety of problems ranging from prematurity, birth defects, infection, cardiac malformations, and surgical problems”(What Is Neonatal”). I used to think being a neonatal nurse was not as emotional as other nursing jobs such as an emergency room nurse because the patients are newborns and unable to speak. However, after learning that a “few neonatal nurses may care for infants up to about 2 years of age” made me wonder if the nurses gain an emotional connection with their patients (“What…

    Advocate For Patient's Rights Research Paper

    Being an advocate for patient’s rights is an inherent and essential role of nurses. Despite the increasing nurse to patient ratio, the demanding schedule and sometimes endless tasks that we are expected to fulfill in a 12-hour shift, we somehow manage to find the time to get to know the patient and the patient’s family to a level that not even the physicians or other members of the healthcare team can. We are the first face they see when they are admitted to the floor. They confide on us their fears and ask for our advice. Our responsibility toward them is to listen to their concerns and support their interests. However, we need to be aware not to impose our views under the assumption that we know what is in their best interest. There is a…
