Assume you work in a high school as a school nurse. During a recent high school athletic event, a spectator in the stands suffered a cardiac arrest. The coach of the home team went into the high school to get the automatic defibrillator (AED), but it was not readily available. In the meantime, an ambulance arrived and revived the spectator. You discover the AED is missing on Monday morning, only to discover that it has been locked in the custodian’s closet. Consider the following questions from the chapter â€Political Analysis and Strategies:

What exactly is the issue?
Is this my problem, and if so, how can I solve it?
Is this the real issue, or merely a symptom of something larger?
Is a quick solution required, or can it be postponed?
Is it going to vanish on its own?
Can I afford to dismiss it?
What are your options? Are there any disadvantages to using these solutions?
What steps would you have to take to resolve the issue?
Is it necessary to involve anyone else at the school in the solution?
Where in the school is the power leverage to achieve the desired outcome?
