Nurses breach of standard of care
In a legal point of view these standards if not followed can bring about claims of negligence or malpractice by patients or family members. McMahon (2016) states that “most legal actions against nurses arise because a patient claims the nurse breached a standard of care and that the breach resulted in harm to the patient (para. 6).
You made some interesting points, John. How would the courts prove that the nurse failed to follow the standards of care?
