As an advocate, a unit in-charge is responsible for supporting patients and staff in various professional and personal matters. Allocations and increment issues of newly appointed nurses, while important, generally fall under administrative and human resource functions and present the least direct professional obligation compared to issues that directly impact patient care and staff well-being. Ensuring adequate staffing during a crisis like COVID-19, advocating for an elder patient's social support needs for discharge, and addressing a nurse's sick leave claim have more immediate and significant implications for patient care and staff advocacy.
