Solution

Inadequate staffing can cause burnout and distress in staff and cause inadequate care and safety for patients. I think being transparent is best with patients and with management when it comes to addressing inadequate staffing. According to Tracy et al., 2023 when faced with ethical decisions a person’s decision may be influenced by their emotional state. Nurse must first identify the emotion and then separate it so they can assess and intervene. The approach I would use to resolve the issue is the principle-based approach because it encompasses the principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.
