Tina is a new nurse who is 2 weeks into her orientation with Maurice, her assigned preceptor. One evening, a patient on Tina’s team begins to deteriorate and a code is called. During the code, Tina is given the task of writing down everything that is being done. Standing near the crash cart, Maurice rubs against her chest while reaching for a medication. When Tina turns, Maurice grabs her rear end. She respects Maurice for his knowledge and willingness to teach her during orientation, but she feels embarrassed and physically ill after the code. After work, Maurice calls Tina at home to discuss how she feels about the code. Tina asks him not to contact her after work hours. Maurice explains that as her mentor, he feels responsible for how she interpreted the experience. The next day, Tina goes to the unit director to file a complaint.
