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.
