Current Case:

Physician Dismisses Nursing Assessments, Question of Nursing Advocacy.
Rowe v. Sisters of Pallottine Missionary Society, 2001 WL 1585453 S.E.2e – WV
Summary: The patient was involved in a motorcycle accident in which his bike fell onto and injured his left leg. When the nurses assessing the patient could not detect a pulse in that leg, an ominous sign of circulatory failure. The physician when notified chose to dismiss this fact and discharge the patient. The patient would return soon after with worsening symptoms that would require emergency surgery. Should the nurses have initially pressed for further action, treatment?

Using Case Study Methodology in Nursing Research by Donna M. Zucker:"The purpose of this paper is to illustrate a research method that may contribute a unique and valuable method of eliciting phenomena of interest to nursing. Case study method can be used as a creative alternative to traditional approaches to description, emphasizing the patient's perspective as central to the process. This manuscript will define case study method, and discuss various case study designs. Approaches and tactics from a variety of disciplines, and theoretical or philosophical perspectives are discussed with an emphasis on method and analysis. The bulk of the manuscript outlines the stages used in a case study of men with chronic coronary heart disease (CHD), as well as presenting a case study protocol. Implications for its usefulness in nursing research, practice, and theory generation are discussed."

A Nursing Primer On The Law: Being Named In A Lawsuit, by Joe A. Flores, JD, FNP, MSN, CCRN, Malenursemagazine:"Being named in a lawsuit can be an extremely stressful event for any nurse. The litigation process can cause devastating damage to a nurse's self-concept and to the nurse's practice. In the past suing the hospital and the doctor were generally the usual manner to obtain relief for someone bringing a lawsuit. However, now more than ever, the new order in the health care arena has made the nurse an integral part of delivering care to patients. The nurse has been delegated more responsibility and is also more accountability for the actions of licensed and unlicensed staff. This role has provided for increased autonomy as well as increased accountability. To make matters more complicated, the nursing shortage and limited resources have been a factor in nurses being increasingly involved in medical malpractice lawsuits."

Nursing Malpractice: Protect Yourself. What to do when you’re the subject of a board of nursing complaint. American Journal of Nursing:"Q. I’ve just learned that a complaint against me has been filed with my state board of nursing. What should I expect? A. Complaints to a state board of nursing (BON) can be initiated by other health care providers, patients and their family members, and health care institutions. Once a complaint is lodged, an investigator—who may or may not be a nurse—is sent to the site to gather information about the incident. BON investigators can obtain and review medical records, drug logs, personnel records, and incident reports, as well as take depositions or call in potential witnesses for questioning. If the case concerns drug abuse or another matter pertaining to one’s physical fitness to practice, most states also have the right to ask you to have a physical examination conducted by your health care provider."

Nursing Malpractice: What You Should Know, By Jennifer Larson, Nursezone.com:"If you think that the worst thing that could happen in a hospital is the accidental death or injury of a patient, you’re right. But sometimes sentinel events are followed by another dreaded event: a lawsuit. Do you know what you need to know to protect yourself from being sued for malpractice? Are you prepared in the event that you receive a letter from a patient’s attorney? Joe Flores, a nurse practitioner and practicing attorney, recommends that new nurses educate themselves as soon as they start their first nursing job. “I would strongly recommend that a nurse determine what the policies and procedures are at her individual facility and determine what type of preceptor program is in place,” said Flores, who works for a law firm in Corpus Christi, Texas."

Nursing Malpractice Liability and Risk Management, By Charles C. Sharpe:"Students and professional nurses at any level of clinical practice will find this book to be a vital resource on the basic legal concepts and principles of malpractice, liability, and risk management, and their implications for the profession. The book also provides detailed strategies for dealing with these issues. The content is also highly relevant to practitioners in all other health care and legal disciplines that collaborate in the delivery of health care. Issues discussed include the expanding and evolving roles for professional nurses and the concomitant legal accountability and risk for liability, the increasing incidence of nurses named as defendants in malpractice lawsuits, anticipated changes in our health care delivery system, and breakthroughs in science and technology that will present new legal questions. The book also includes material on other important facets of today's nursing practice, including the growing phenomenon of tele-nursing, the essentials of malpractice insurance, and the legal significance of documentation and patients' medical records. It helps the reader identify the nurse at risk for a malpractice suit and the characteristics of the patient likely to sue. The appendices provide information on state laws concerned with access to medical records, a list of useful websites, a list of state boards of nursing, and a glossary of important terms."
