A Nurse Who Has Just Returned from Military Duty Abroad

A nurse who has just returned from military duty abroad is assigned a patient whose ethnic background matches that of the enemy nation where he has recently served. The nurse and patient begin to discuss the war and after some areas of polite disagreement, a verbal argument arises. Personal and ethnic insults are exchanged. If you were the clinical supervisor responsible for the ward where this nurse worked and this patient received care, what remedies would you devise?

A) I would isolate the patient. I would try to place her on a ward where she is unlikely to have contact with former military personnel.
B) I would isolate the nurse. I would try to reassign him to a ward where he is unlikely to have contact with people of this ethnicity or nationality.
C) I would place the nurse on probation, until he completes sensitivity training. I would report his behavior to hospital administration.
D) I would fire the nurse.
E) I would discharge the patient from the hospital.
