20 Mar legal and ethical issues in nursing
For this week assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation based on the following case studies.
Read the case study presented at the end of Chapter 12 (Guido, p. 218) and answer the following questions:
• Did the facility have sufficient evidence to suspend the nurse?
• How should the testimony of the other nurses in the unit affect the outcome of this case?
• What additional questions should the institution address before the court rules in this case?
• How would you have ruled in this case?
Read the case study presented at the end of Chapter 13 (Guido, p. 234) which begins, “The patient was seen by the NP in an outpatient clinic for persistent diarrhea,…” and answer the following questions:
• How should the expert witness for the defense offer testimony that the NP and the consulting physician had met the standards of care for this individual patient?
• Did not having a full autopsy impact the outcome of the case either for or against the NP and the clinic?
• Would the care of this patient have been positively impacted by a more thorough examination of the patient’s gastrointestinal problems?
• How should the court decide on the issue of negligence?
Read Chapters 16 and 17 in Guido (7th ed). Read the case study presented at the end of Chapter 17 (Guido, p. 328-329) beginning with, “A licensed practical nurse…” and answer the following questions found on p. 329:
• Did the nurse manager have a responsibility to supervise the care of the patient?
• Was the care of this patient appropriately assigned to the LPN by the charge nurse, or could the charge nurse have delegated this patient’s care more appropriately?
• If the charge nurse assigned the care of the patient to the LPN, did she retain any supervisory responsibility that would result in her liability in this case?
• How do the principles associated with delegation and supervision figure into this case?
• How would you decide this case?
