Nurses and Malpractice
Nurses play an important role in the healthcare profession. They often lay the groundwork that leads to diagnosis. Doctors often employ their assistance during treatment procedures. Nurses are also usually in charge of patient care after treatment has been administered.
Because of their deep and intimate role in patient care, nurses can, unfortunately, commit medical malpractice. If you or someone you love suffered injuries because of the action or inaction of a nurse, contact the Madison medical malpractice lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at 800-242-2874.
Acts of Malpractice
Nurses are capable of many acts of medical malpractice, which may come at any stage of patient care. Most commonly, these acts of malpractice are:
- Inadequately monitoring patients
- Failing to report significant changes in a patient’s condition
- Improperly administering treatment or medication
- Using dirty or contaminated medical tools
Each of these acts may jeopardize a patient’s well-being, so it is important for nurses to stay alert and dedicated to their work. When they fail to do so, patients may suffer serious injury, advancements in their illnesses, or even death.
Patients who suffer because of nursing malpractice may be entitled to financial compensation from the medical establishments that employ the nurses responsible for their injuries.
