Scenario : You are a nursing student completing a 4-week placement in a hospital. You are caring for Mrs Rideout who has a history of dementia, she has returned from the operating theatre with a PCA infusion (patient-controlled analgesia). You have just finished completing observations on her as she groans and when you ask her if she has any pain, she states "no". Vicki, the RN you are working with, asks you to push the PCA for her, you hesitate, so she leans over to push it herself to "keep the patient comfortable as she has probably forgotten she is in pain".

Tasks:

1. Identify the potential legal ramifications of an RN pushing the PCA?

2. Explain the ethical principles that are at stake in this scenario. How should these principles guide your action as a nursing student?

3. What actions can you take to address this situation, consider your role as a nursing student.
