Addressing Mary’s Failing Health You are the manager of a well-baby newborn nursery. Among
your staff is 79-year-old LVN/LPN Mary Jones, who has worked for the hospital for 50 years. No
mandatory retirement age exists. This has not been a problem in the past, but Mary’s general
health is now making this a problem for your unit. Mary has grown physically fragile. Cataracts
cloud her vision, and she suffers from hypertension. Last month, she began to prepare a little
girl for circumcision because she did not read the armband properly. Your staff has become
increasingly upset over Mary’s inability to fulfi ll her job duties. The physicians, however,
support Mary and found the circumcision incident humorous. Last week, you requested that
Mary have a physical examination, at hospital expense, to determine her physical ability to
continue working. You were not particularly surprised when she returned with medical approval.
Her physician spoke sharply with you. Admitting privately that Mary’s health was rapidly failing,
the physician told you that working was Mary’s only reason for living and left you with these
words: “Force Mary to retire, and she will die within the year.” ASSIGNMENT: Using your
knowledge of age discrimination, patient safety, employee rights, and management
responsibilities, decide on an appropriate course of action for this case. Be creative and think
beyond the obvious. Be able to support your decisions.
