environment.
d.
Hire a geriatric specialist to oversee and control the project.

Placing the nurse on unpaid leave may threaten the nurse’s capacity to meet physiologic
needs and demotivate the nurse. Unsatis𝘧actory coverage o𝘧 shi𝘧ts on short notice could
a𝘧𝘧ect patient care and threaten the needs o𝘧 sta𝘧𝘧 to 𝘧eel competent. Arranging the schedule
around
the wi𝘧e’s needs meets the needs o𝘧 the sta𝘧𝘧 and o𝘧 patients while satis𝘧ying the nurse’s need
𝘧or a𝘧𝘧iliation.
TOP: AONE competency: Communication and Relationship-Building
