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.
