Case study:
Olivia has a history of anxiety and depression. She experiences frequent challenging periods every year and has been admitted to the local hospital's Mental Health Unit on four occasions over the past 10 months. She has been struggling to deal with a family crisis that took place 12 months ago.
During her last 3 admissions, Gordon, an RPN on the Mental Health Unit has been Olivia's primary nurse providing care. Olivia has developed a comfort in talking with Gordon and sharing details about the problems and challenges she faces.
Olivia feels her recovery with each admission is partly because of the support she has received from Gordon. Olivia expresses this to her sister and also reveals that she is very attached to him and feels emotionally attracted to him.
Prior to her final discharge she expressed her gratitude and tells Gordon that it is because of him that she feels so much better. She thanks him with a gift, which he accepts, not wanting to hurt her feelings. Olivia goes home and that week, discovers Gordon's social media account through a friend. She sends him a message, which he replies to, and they begin to message back and forth over the next several months.
Six months after the discharge Olivia and Gordon, along with four other individuals, two friends of each, decide to rent a house together. While being roommates, Olivia faces two admissions to the Mental Health Unit where Gordon still works. Despite the fact that they are roommates, Gordon provides care to Olivia and does not disclose their roommate relationship at work.
