Consider the following scenario:

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, state Governors took significant steps to protect

residents, including the most vulnerable populations, nursing home residents. In

Oklahoma, Governor Kevin Stitt issued a policy that required any “staffer” entering a

nursing home to produce a negative COVID-19 test result.

Place yourself in the role of a nursing home administrator in this situation, and respond to

the following:

(I support that any staffer entering the nursing home should produce a negative COVID-

19 test result. My current place of employment that any employee refusing to get

vaccinated mu TEST twice each week)

 What are the gaps in this policy? (Policy is italicized above).

 Does scientific evidence support this approach? Why or why not?

 Because this is mandated by the state, your facility must comply. Briefly explain

how you will ensure compliance while maintaining the integrity of evidence-

based practice.
