A nurse cares for obstetrical patients in a rural hospital in a small town, with
the closest tertiary hospital over four hours away. The hospital has been
experiencing financial difficulties over the past year, and the nurse is
concerned because over the last year, the fetal monitor stopped working
and was never repaired. The nurse has been instructed to use a Doppler,
hand-held ultrasound to assess fetal heart tones during labor. In addition, the
hospital no longer staffs an anesthesiologist after 7 p.m. The nurse is
concerned that it is not safe to provide obstetrical care to laboring women
due to the limited resources and inability to uphold national standards of
care. This challenge relates most directly to which dimension of health care?
