Nursing Errors and Medical Negligence
Nursing errors can arise because of errors made by individual nurses as well as negligence on the part of the hospital itself. In an effort to save money, some hospitals understaff nurses, leaving each nurse to care for more patients than he or she can safely handle.
Many of the nurse's responsibilities involve monitoring the patient and reporting to the doctor on the patient's condition. When this critical function is not performed properly, patients are put at risk.
Nursing duties include:
- Monitoring patients for infection
- Monitoring blood pressure and other vital signs
- Administering medicine
