Answer preview

A skilled nursing home is a complicated healthcare environment because, predictably, it requires nursing practitioners to offer a higher degree of care to individuals who are more vulnerable than the general population (Lage et al., 2018). The stakes are higher because any lapses could culminate in very adverse outcomes that not only threaten patients’ health but also soil an entire organization’s reputation. For example, lapses in monitoring an aging patient could result in falls that may prove detrimental considering the individual’s vulnerability. It may expose the organization to legal battles and substantial reputational harm. Unlike standard clinical settings where nurses predominantly discharge basic primary care duties, a skilled nursing home is more demanding as nurses must provide higher levels of care to patients. Therefore, many nurses who have been newly recruited into the organization will encounter significant difficulties in coping with these new demands.
