While you are doing morning care with Patient A in a two-bed room, your nurse colleague, a person of colour, is doing morning care with Patient B in the same room. Patient B is complaining about how her nurse is bathing her and finally shouts: “Oh for heaven’s sake, why don’t you just go back to your own country. I want a Canadian nurse.” Your colleague remains quiet. What comments would be most effective response to support your colleague and address the patient’s unacceptable behaviour. Question 5 options: Report the situation to the unit manager and ask them to change your colleague’s assignment. Tell your colleague: “It upsets me that she said that. I’d like to report this to our unit manager if that’s OK with you. ” Tell the patient that her nurse, your colleague, was actually born in Toronto, Ontario, and is a Canadian citizen. Say nothing as your positional power as a nurse gives you at an unfair advantage.
