Dissecting Nursing Malpractice & Due Care

Name: Dissecting Nursing Malpractice & Due Care
SKU: POS078615

$129.99 Standard

Nurses do care very much about their practice, but what is Due Care? Due Care is the legal term for what a reasonable nurse would do in similar circumstances. Due Care is just one of the confusing legal terms that will be clarified in this seminar. Understanding the language and components of medical malpractice not only increases awareness of legal responsibilities but may also decrease the risk of legal actions by improving both patient safety and care.

All individuals make mistakes. But in healthcare, the errors can have devasting results, not only for the patients, but also providers themselves. One way to understand and possibly avoid medical errors is to dissect and review medical malpractice cases. Reviewing cases allows for a nonjudgmental avenue to understand how not to make the same error and to reflect on one’s own practice.
