Mr. Johnson, a thirty-three-year-old African American patient had been deemed a "frequent
flyes" (a term used to describe those who keep coming to the hospital for the same reason, often
assumed to be drug seekers) by the nurses and doctors in the emergency department. Each time
he came in complaining of extreme headaches he was given pain medication and sent home. On
this last admission, he was admitted to the ICU , where Courtney, a nurse, had just begun
working. When she heard him described as a frequent flyer, she asked another nurse why he was
thought to be a drug seeker. She was told, "He has nothing else better to do; I'm not sure why he
thinks we can supply his drug habits." Although Courtney says her instincts told her that
something else was going on, she saw his tattoos, observed his rough demeanor, and went along
with what everyone else was saying. While she was wheeling him to get a CT scan, Mr. Johnson
hemiated and died. It turned out that he had a rare form of meningitis and truly was suffering
from severe headaches. If some of the staff had not stereotyped him as a drug seeker on one of
his earlier visits, perhaps his life could have been saved. This incident left a lasting impression
on Courtney, who vowed not ever to judge a patient on his looks, and to trust her instincts, rather
than let others influence her nursing care. 1. What was the issue here? Please provide a summary
of the main problem 2. From the cultural elements what was the main one as an obstacle? Please
explain relevant to the case 3. How could this harm be prevented and how can we reduce the risk
if recurring the incident in the future? 4. How diversity in Healthcare organization should be to
serve as an optimal platform for the patients Respect APA and reference as your submission is
individually done and uploaded on Turnitin.
