Do you think attractive nurses should be allowed to give blood pressure tests

On the ward I attend theres this nurse who's 10/10. The thing is, she's so hot that she aways sends gentleman's pulses racing (as well as causing certain other involuntary bodily reactions, particularly when she gives bed baths) so when she performs blood pressure tests, she always gets skewered results.

Im thinking of trying to instigate a new ward policy which will mean only nurses who are 7/10 and under can perform BP tests but Im worried that if I do that then I could leave myself vulnerable to some sort of employment lawsuit.

What do you think?

From the time they are small to old age, boys and men have to deal with the reality of encountering attractive women.
It's their job to learn to deal with it in appropriate ways.

When it comes to blood pressure tests or bedbaths, all it takes is to not look at the nurse, and think of something sad or nauseating.

We need every nurse we can get, irrespective of how they look - even more so now that we have Covid with so many health workers off sick.

Most definitely bc it’s discrimination of job functions based on physical appearance. The nurse shouldn’t be punished for everyone else’s reaction to her looks. She can’t help what she was born with. Instead you should focus on ways to teach your nurses how to get their patients to relax prior to blood pressure testing. If she did other things beforehand and they got used to her, then take the pressure later. Getting skewed results bc they can’t keep their mind out the gutter is the patient’s problem and not the nurse’s.
