Nursing malpractice can occur at anytime in a nursing career. Many times health care facilities are short staffed or the number of patients to be cared for by an individual exceeds what can be accomplished over a 8 hour shift- this has really occurred with COVID.
Below is a list of situations that nurses can be sued for. Pick one issue and describe how you feel about this issue and whether this is fair or unfair for the nurse. Paper must be minimum of two pages and APA format.
Some Examples of Nursing Malpractice
Whether the nurse is performing home health care or working in a doctor’s office or hospital, there are many, many tasks that nurses perform that are related to the
patient’s care. Just some of these tasks include:
monitoring and observing patients
feeding patients
administering medications
changing bandages and dressings, and
checking any medical equipment that the patient is connected to.
If a nurse fails to perform these tasks properly, the nurse could be found negligent. Just some examples of nursing malpractice are:
failing to monitor or observe a patient as needed based on the patient’s condition
failing to respond to a patient’s call for assistance
failing to take a patient’s vital signs at the proper times
failing to write down the nurse’s observations in the patient’s chart
making a mistake in the patient’s diet
giving the patient the wrong food or drink
administering the patient the wrong type or wrong amount of medication, or
giving the patient’s medication at the wrong time or in the wrong manner.
If a nurse made a mistake in any of these situations, it would be the nurse, not the doctor, who was negligent.
