You Have Assigned Susan to Care for a 28-Year-Old Male

You have assigned Susan to care for a 28-year-old male who was severely burned in a car accident and is undergoing reconstructive surgery. When you enter the patient's room to check on Susan's progress in completing the patient's morning care, Susan is sitting on the patient's bed and kissing him. The patient seems to be actively engaged in the kiss. Which of the following would be your most appropriate response to this situation?

A) Withdraw quietly from the doorway and document the episode in an anecdotal note you will give to Susan the next day.
B) Wait until Susan is out of the patient's room, then confront her in the hallway and send her home for the day.
C) Call Susan out of the room, taking her to a private conference area to discuss the behavior you witnessed and why it was inappropriate.
D) Kick yourself for making this particular assignment and avoid assigning young female students to take care of young male patients in the future.
E) Enter the room, clear your throat loudly, and ask Susan to explain her behavior in front of the patient.
