CASE STUDY: Caregiver Role Strain: Ms. Sandra A.
Sandra, a 47-year-old divorced woman, received a diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer 4 years ago, for which she had a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo- oophorectomy, omentectomy, lymphadenectomy, and tumor debulking followed by chemotherapy, consisting of cisplatin (Platinol), paclitaxel (Taxol), and doxorubicin (Adriamycin). She did well for 2 years and then moved back to her hometown near her family and underwent three more rounds of secondline chemotherapy. She accepted a less stressful job, bought a house, renewed old friendships, and became more involved with her two sisters and their families.
Sandra developed several complications, including metastasis to the lungs. Then she could no longer work, drive, or care for herself. She had been told by her oncologist that there was nothing else that could be done and that she should consider entering a hospice. She met her attorney and prepared an advance directive and completed her will. She decided to have hospice care at home and, with the help of her family, set up her first floor as a living and sleeping area. She was cared for by family members around the clock for approximately 3 days.
Sandra observed that she was tiring everyone out so much that they could not really enjoy each others company. At this time, she contacted the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) to seek assistance. Her plan was to try to enjoy her family and friends visits. After assessment, the VNA nurse prioritized her problems to include fatigue and caregiver role strain. Other potential problem areas that may need to be incorporated into the care plan include anticipatory grieving and impaired comfort.

Describe key factors you considered in the formulation of a proposed HR solution.

Prepare a 3-4-page hiring plan with your recommended course of action and analysis for filling a difficult position in the provided scenario.
Recruiting supports an organization’s short-, mid-, and long-term human capital needs. It can be a very easy and straightforward process, depending on the region, market, and the field of work. In some fields, prospective employees are readily accessible, and the organization will have the ability to select among a broad group of well-qualified candidates. In other fields, generating potential applicants will be very hard as they are not present, or if they are present, the competition among businesses in the market will be a challenge.
The nature of work is so very different from job-to-job and organizational role to organizational role. Each is important and makes valuable but very different organizational contributions. The field of HR studies the nature of work to attract and select the best applicants, and HR professionals follow SHRM’s behavioral competencies to support their decision making and, in this assessment’s scenario, to find a successful resolution to a hiring challenge.
Introduction
Scenario
For this assessment, assume you are an HR professional working as an HR business partner for one of the most prestigious nonprofit scientific research centers in the United States. The center is large enough to have its own office of general counsel. Recently, one of the assistant general counsels departed for a job at the White House. The general counsel wants the finest and most talented attorney candidates who are practicing in the field of research in a nonprofit setting. You have announced the open position and have had 807 applicants. You chose a group of 12 candidates, all of whom were turned down by the supervisor (hiring manager). The general counsel’s office demanded to see all applicant resumes, and your HR director agreed. After they reviewed all the resumes, they said none were good enough. However, they provided no additional information to you about their preferred applicant qualifications.
Your Challenge
While you are the HR business partner to the general counsel, you have many other organizational clients, each with their own needs and expectations, and therefore a limited amount of time to give to this particular client. Given that you have failed to select appropriate candidates, you consider spending some money from your very tight budget to hire a recruiting firm, but that is not a guarantee of success. You are considering the following three options: 1) recommending to the hiring manager that she reconsider the 12 candidates you selected, 2) asking her to allow you to re-announce, possibly with some changes to the position vacancy announcement, or 3) going to the outside (expensive) recruiting firm in spite of your budget constraints. The option you recommend should offer the greatest return to the organization and its employees.
Instructions
Prepare a 34-page plan that states your recommended course of action. Along with your recommendation, include the following:

Analyze how your proposed HR solution to an HR challenge contributes to organizational goals and strategies.

Weigh the barriers the business partner will face with each of the three options.
Include the internal implications, if any, to reconsider the 12 candidates and how that could be done.
Consider the passage of time against the need for another attorney in the office as well as the impact of cost if you choose to go to an external organization.

Describe key factors you considered in the formulation of a proposed HR solution.

Include the ethical considerations for recruiting and hiring in this scenario.
Integrate material from your references that offer a theory-based relationship to inform ethical considerations.

Explain the role of the HR practitioner in advancing a proposed HR solution.

Briefly explain your role to influence the eventual outcome. Consider aspects of leadership, negotiation, and consultation.

Discuss the application of any SHRM behavioral competencies to the process of solving an HR challenge.

Which competencies are most directly applicable to a successful resolution of this challenge and why?

Additional ?Requirements
The deliverable for this assessment applies professional skills in HRM to workplace situations that you will likely encounter in your day-to-day work in HRM. As part of your learning, we focus on the development of effective professional communication skills for the workplace. Your assessment should meet the following additional ?requirements:

For this assessment, imagine you are a member of a Quality
Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether
acute, ambulatory, home health, managed care, et cetera. Your
Council has identified that newly hired nurses would benefit from
comprehensive training on the importance of nursing-sensitive
quality indicators. The Council would like the training to address
how this information is collected and disseminated across the
organization. It would also like the training to describe the role
nurses have in accurate reporting and high-quality results.

The Council indicates a recording is preferable to a written fact
sheet due to the popularity of audio blogs. In this way, new hires
can listen to the tutorial on their own time using their phone or
other device.

As a result of this need, you offer to create an audio tutorial
orienting new hires to these topics. You know that you will need a
script to guide your audio recording. You also plan to incorporate
into your script the insights you learned from conducting an
interview with an authority on quality monitoring and the use of
technology to collect and report quality indicator data.

You determine that you will cover the following topics in your
audio tutorial script:

Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality

Indicator
What is the National Database of Nursing-
Sensitive Quality Indicators?
What are nursing-sensitive quality indicators?
Which particular quality indicator did you select to address in
your tutorial?
Why is this quality indicator important to monitor?

Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on the

Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on the
quality of care and patient safety.

Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular
quality indicator when providing patient care?

Collection and Distribution of Quality

Indicator Data
According to your interview and other resources, how does
your organization collect data on this quality indicator?
How does the organization disseminate aggregate data?
What role do nurses play in supporting accurate reporting and
high-quality results?

As an example, consider the importance of accurately
entering data regarding nursing interventions.

After completing your script, practice delivering your tutorial
several times before recording it.

Additional Requirements

Audio communication: Deliver a professional, effective
audio tutorial on a selected quality indicator that engages new
nurses and motivates them to accurately report quality data in
a timely fashion.
Length: 810 minute audio recording. Use Kaltura to upload
your recording to the courseroom, or provide a working link
your instructor can access.
Script: A separate document with the script or speaker’s
notes is required. Important: Submissions that do not include
the script or speaker’s notes will be returned as a non-

References: Cite a minimum of three scholarly and/or
authoritative sources.
APA: Submit, along with the recording, a separate reference
page that follows APA style and formatting guidelines. For an
