Conflict Scenario Verbal Orders
Introduction
This conflict scenario occurs in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) that involves verbal orders and Computer Physician Order Entry (CPOE). This involves the Director of the PICU, the Physicians of the PICU and the Staff Nurses in the PICU. To understand this conflict better the view of all involved will be discussed along with the behaviors, responses, and the impact this conflict has on the PICU.
The Conflict
During a recent staff meeting, the Director of the PICU announced that the Physicians had an issue with putting in verbal orders in the CPOE hours after the medications had been given. Their complaint with having to do this is that they sometimes have 30 or more patients and that the Staff Nurses only have one to two so the Staff Nurses should be putting in the verbal orders in the CPOE when they receive them. The Physicians are tired of staying over to place these orders in the CPOE. The Director informed the Staff Nurses that they needed to help the Physicians with this since the Physicians are so overworked.
