The healthcare environment can often feel turbulent, but nurse leaders are essential in fostering stability and guiding their teams through the storm. When patients exhibit high-risk, non-adherent (HRNA) behaviors, it can disrupt the healing environment, compromise safety, erode trust, and contribute to moral injury among staff. In this session, you’ll engage in collaborative planning to reduce risk and effectively address HRNA behaviors. You'll also explore a critical question: If a colleague is experiencing moral distress, would you recognize the signs—and know how to respond? This is your opportunity to gain practical tools for navigating moral and ethical challenges in healthcare, build personal and team resilience, and lead with clarity and compassion in difficult moments.
