Workplace Changes Plan

Week 4

Review the following nursing scenario from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

A 60-year-old female is admitted to the ward with a 2-day history of severe left lower abdominal pain and leukocytosis. Her white count is 13,000, and she has WBCs in her urinalysis. Two hours after admission, she begins to experience an acute exacerbation of her abdominal pain and is believed to have a diverticular perforation and acute abdomen. At this point, her physician decides to send her to the OR. The unit clerk is aware of the plan, but the patient’s nurse is not. The patient is transported to the OR. Moments later, the OR calls to report that the patient has no permits signed, nor have any other pre-op protocols been completed.

Create a plan using Lewin’s change model, documenting strategies needed to support Followership and Empowerment.
