Problem: Maggie Johnson takes considerable pride in her athletic physique. She works out every morning at the gym before beginning her shift at the hospital, but sometimes she doesn't allow enough time to get in a shower before heading to work. In addition, she likes her scrubs to be very form fitting, and some tops show quite a bit more skin than the typical RN on the floor. Several patients have commented to other nurses about Maggie's appearance, calling it inappropriate and sloppy, but they have not filed a formal complaint or comment during the discharge process.
Q1. Explain the policies and procedures for hygiene and professional attire that should be followed while at work.
Q2. Describe how you would broach the issue in a private meeting with Maggie.
Q3. Explain what training you would recommend for Maggie.
