CASE STUDY
A cardiac patient complained to the nurse that he had chest pain and shortness of breath. The nurse , who was on her way to lunch , decided to wait until she got back before calling the patient’s physician.
She gave the patient the medications that were ordered for him in the event he should get chest pains. Check this link out for more information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursing
She did not tell the nurse who was covering her patients during lunch. Half an hour later, when the nurse returned from lunch the nurse had forgotten about the patient’s complaints. Later that day , the patient was found to have suffered a massive heart attack.
