Now more than ever, being adept in the legal issues relevant to the nursing practice is necessary to avoid malpractice suits and other potentially damaging legal consequences that can cause you to lose your license and bar you from practicing nursing for the rest of your life. Below are some of the legal considerations you need to be aware of as a nurse.
Nurse Practice Act
Every nurse-whether an RN or an LPN-should secure a copy of the Nurse Practice Act which can be obtained from the State Board of Nursing. This is the standard legal basis for malpractice suits and every nurse should be familiar with the applicable acts and duties in their area of practice. Take note that these acts may vary from state to state. Issues covered in the Nurse Practice Act are quite specific including issues on whether an RN can remove chest tubes and manipulate Swan-Ganz; whether LPNs can care for patients with a Swan-Ganz catheter, push IV meds, or hang a piggyback with 50 cc's of fluid in it; and what the duties of nurse's aides or technicians are and if RNs are reliable for the aides. Make sure that you read the entire document and understand every statute covered.
Employer's policy and manual
Hospitals or employers will have a policy and procedure manual that will cover the rules and regulations of the facility and the institution. Make sure that you read and understand everything indicated in the manual as it will typically include potential violations that you need to avoid, as well as sanctions that will be implemented depending on the violation. If the manual contradicts a rule or statute in the Nurse Practice Act, follow the guidelines in the Nurse Practice Act as this is legally binding and have more serious consequences. Inform your superior regarding and discrepancies or inconsistencies. It could be that you simply misunderstood the policy or there was an error in the writing of the manual. Always remember that if there is a negative outcome and the patient complains, you will be subjected and judged according to the standards of the Nurse Practice Act.
Getting insurance
To protect you from possible damages and expenses, you can get either an occurrence type or a claims type of insurance. In the occurrence type, the insurance company will cover damages and expenses at the period of the occurrence. In a claims type of insurance, the insurance company will cover any claims made while the policy is in effect no matter when the occurrence took place. Before getting insurance, ask the insurance company representative whether you can select the attorney that will represent you and if the company routinely settle claims or if you can have your day in court.
Damage control
It is inevitable that you'll bungle a procedure at some point some point or even if you do everything right, that it may still have a negative income. If this is the case, document all the details in your notes as truthfully as possible, and if needed, complete an incident report immediately. If a physician's order is not clear, make sure that you clarify and never ever guess or assume.
