The nurse manager at a healthcare facility in a developing nation regularly loses nurses to positions in developed nations. According to the World Health Organization, which action would be appropriate for the nurse manger to take to address this problem?
A) Lobby for local legislation that prevents migration of healthcare workers.
B) Encourage the facility to build workforce capacity within the country.
C) Institute HIV prevention measures and treatment for health workers.
D) Treat expatriate workers with the same dignity and respect as all healthcare workers.
Ans: C
Feedback:
HIV protection and treatment, as well as plans for emergency preparedness, are paramount if workers are to feel safe in their environments. Migration is a human right, so lobbying for antimigration legislation would not be appropriate. Because the facility is losing its native healthcare workers, not gaining expatriate workers from other nations, encouraging the facility to build workforce capacity in the nurse's own country, and treating expatriate workers with dignity would not address the problem.
