In an investigation being conducted by the state crime lab, senior investigators have called your company, AB Investigative Services, to provide advice concerning the interception of wire, electronic, and oral communications. The current individual suspected to be the source of the crime used a library computer to send and receive e-mails. The librarian walked up on the e-mail account while the suspect was away and found incriminating information in an open e-mail, which was reported to law enforcement.

18 U.S.C. §§ 2510-22 Wire and Electronic Communications Interception and Interception of Oral Communications and,

Crisis communication case studies

Case Study: Mark
Read the case study provided and answer the questions in a Microsoft Word document. Each response should be a minimum of 5 sentences in length, clear and concise, and use correct grammar.
Case Study
Meet Mark.
Mark is excited to begin training as an emergency department nurse. On his first day, the nurse training him makes multiple negative remarks about the physician on duty. “Don’t ever make a suggestion, or she’ll ream you out. You have to walk on eggshells around her.” Later, another nurse is showing Mark where the supplies are kept. She tells him, “If you can’t find things, don’t call Central Supply because they’ll get on your back about wasting resources. It’s better to keep a few key things like IV start kits hidden so you can grab them when you need them.”
Three emergency department nurses standing next to a patient bed
Toward the end of his shift, a nurse assistant tells Mark a patient is vomiting violently in one of the examination rooms. However, Mark walks in to find the patient sitting up smiling, and only a small amount of emesis in the basin. He hears muffled laughter coming from the hallway. Later in the shift, the nurse who is training Mark comments, “Hope you don’t mind a little kidding around. This job can get to you, and it’s good to laugh when we can.”
The remainder of his training is free of other incidents and, overall, goes well.
