You are the Director of the 6 ICU units at your facility. You have an all RN staff and CNA's in each of the units. Your CNO has recently informed you that he has performed a supply audit and has found numerous supplies are unaccounted for. This has put you more than 20% over your budget for the year. He asks the help of the charge nurses to help you find out if someone is pilfering supplies and if so to take steps to correct this problem. Otherwise, you will have to cut 20% from your current budget to make up the difference. As Director of the ICU's, you must determine what action you should take.
