The NOC nurse told me of unusual bumps on patient's genital area and we were to put a certain PRN ointment on it but she hadn't written an IR so I offered to do it. The IR came back with the manager's remark that she was curious why I was giving such close attention to the patient's genital area. I took offense to that statement because it implied an inappropriate sexual interest in the patient and the IR clearly stated why this was being done. A copy with her comments goes to the county. I have NEVER done anything inappropriate or been disciplined for anything at this company. I think this could cast a negative light on my nursing license and me personally. I think this was done in retaliation for me exposing falsification of documents by administration for government funding. What should I do?

A developmentally disabled patient had about a hundred hard rock-like objects in her Attends which the head nurse claimed were absorbant beads from her Attends. Her family member has legal guardianship of her. Another nurse was discussing this with the guardian who requested a sample of the objects to take to patient's doctor to identify what they were (the head nurse took no samples, only this other nurse, because she didn't believe they were absorbant beads). The other nurse asked if she could call the guardian after the appointment to see what they were. They were not absorbant beads. Since the other nurse called from her home phone does this violate professional boundaries?
