I need assistance in analyzing the following scenario!
A women work as a nurse at a facility which handled bariatric (treatment of obesity) patients. This type of patient has somehow increased in numbers at the medical facility (not sure why). A female nurse was reassigned from a bariatric patient to another non-bariatric patient. A male nurse was assigned to the bariatric patient. Is this a form of discrimination or sexual harassment? The patient never complained about the care received, this decision was made by the nursing supervisor. Any thoughts? Why would a decision like that be made? Any benefits?
