Sagot :

This given example suggests ethical problem related to proper Allocation of scarce nursing resources.

Since the nurse has to look after two jobs which carry equal importance according to her, her confrontation to the supervisor is valid. However, supervisor on the other hand is unaware of the actual medical conditions of the patient and finds that the requirement of staff in telemetry unit carries greater importance so he directs the nurse to report in the telemetry unit.
