Nursing Negligence

Nurses are vitally important to the delivery of timely and quality healthcare. Typically, a nurse is the first healthcare provider a patient sees upon presenting to a hospital’s emergency department, and the ER nurse’s ability to identify an emergency medical condition could be the difference between life and death. Also, nurses are the eyes and ears of the physician, and it is up to the skilled nurse to keep the physician advised of any changes in a patient’s condition and carry out the medical orders of the physician. Undoubtedly, nurses spend more time interacting with their patients than physicians. When a nurse fails to properly monitor and/or assess a patient, it can often lead catastrophic results. Nursing errors can occur in the following situations:

• Negligent triage of ER patient
• Failing to administer medication
• Administering the wrong medication
• Failing to report change in patient status
• Failing to monitor patient
• Improper transport and/or transfer of patient
