Give me an example of medical malpractice cases in the nursing profession? |
Legal cases involving nurses... Malpractice... Negligence... Anything... Causing damage to nerves by venipunture, not assessing and reporting a patient's worsening condition to a doctor, allowing an iv fluid to flow without a pump at a bolus rate to someone in CHF, giving the wrong blood type to the wrong patient, tearing the urethra with a foley cath insertion, injecting a bolus tube feeding through a central line. These are a mere few of the ones I have seen or heard of over the years. Administering the wrong Drug. good one and very concerning One huge issue is IV sites, especially involving chemotherapy. There was a case where the IV nurse had not documented on the IV sheets on the condition of a site and the chemo leaked and the patient lost their arm because of it. Go to Google.com and enter your search. You had sex with a patient and he died ! |
