One family that was approached refused to be moved, and an altercation occurred, causing the charge nurse significant distress. The charge nurse in the birthing center approached the department head for advice regarding the allocation of resources. The department head was somewhat confused by the inquiry, because there were numerous other patients that could be approached. When questioned, the charge nurse indicated that the alternate families had insurance and were ‘‘paying’’ clients of the facility, whereas the first family approached was without resources other than Medicaid. The nurse felt that those who were not paying for their healthcare through either their own resources or insurance should not be able to refuse reasonable requests regarding the allocation of facilities. When advised by the department head that the source of payment, if any, was irrelevant, the charge nurse continued to defend her position and maintained that those who paid had more ‘‘rights’’ than those who did not. .................................................","PeriodicalId":80291,"journal":{"name":"JONA'S healthcare law, ethics and regulation","volume":"11 1","pages":"19-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/NHL.0b013e31819a781a","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28026680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these strategies are limited in that they do not directly address healthcare provider moral distress. Since healthcare provider moral distress and the establishment of a positive ethical climate are both linked to an organization's ability to retain healthcare professionals and increase their level of job satisfaction, leaders have a corollary responsibility to address moral distress.
