Bob is a 75 year old gay man who has been hospitalized for
observation after being evaluated in the ER when he was brought in by ambulance
because he collapsed in the street with severe chest pain and elevated blood
pressure. His partner John has arrived
and has been visiting him in his hospital room.
The Nurse Manager on the floor calls you to report that the patient in
the other bed has made a complaint that he should not have to watch two “homosexuals kissing and touching
each other” in front of him and his
visitors .
1. What
policies would cover this situation?
2. How should
the hospital handle this situation?
3. What action
would you take?
