Locate the Nursing Administrator.  Click on her and write down the quote that the Administrator tells you about nursing leadership.  

There are plenty of challenges with healthcare services. We need a nursing leader who can address these challenges by following the highest standards for creating and nurturing the systems to provide quality services. The leaders should also aim to achieve high level of collaboration across all departments to ensure that the patients receive good quality of services. Therefore, the leaders need to work towards optimization of these services for improving the patient outcomes.

There are many issues regarding the environment at the hospital: – the dustbin is full of trash, broken beds, and dirty curtains. The dirty curtains and full dustbins would make the air dirty and harmful for breathing. Similarly, the patient can easily fall from the broken bed and injure himself. This injury may prolong their stay in the hospital and increase the medical bill. To sum this up, the patient is living in dirty and risky environment while clean, safe, and secure environment in hospitals is their basic right. By providing this dirty and risky environment, the hospital is violating this right.

As per Toge and Bell (2016), poverty is the biggest reason for the spread of diseases in the society. Poor people often do not know the risk associated with various diseases and the ways to prevent themselves against these. They are also unaware of the nutritarians that they should compulsorily receive as part of the prevention effort. Therefore, it is important to make them aware of all this information through various sustained educational and awareness programs. The authors also believes that awareness about hygiene is very important for homeless people, as they are more prone to catching infections from the external environment.
