The sad truth is, nurses are named as codefendants more frequently and charges are becoming more severe. Claims are derived from deviations from laws, policies and standards that seem reasonable under similar circumstances. Tips to avoid malpractice lawsuits are discussed with a focus on documentation, communication, utilizing chain-of-command, competency and monitoring.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
