Nurse Malpractice Attorneys in Washington, DC

WHAT IS NURSING MALPRACTICE?

Nurses play a crucial role in patient care. In a hospital or other medical facility, nurses perform much of the day-to-day care of a patient, answering requests for help, monitoring medical equipment, and responding to emergency situations. They are often considered a patient’s first and primary advocate and will, in carrying out the attending physician’s orders, be responsible for administering medication, changing dressings, monitoring a patient’s condition, and much more.

Nursing malpractice occurs when a nurse fails to provide standard care and a patient suffers injury as a result. There are different types of malpractice that may be committed by a nurse, such as:

• Failing to properly monitor a patient
• Delayed or no response to patient distress
• Failing to notify the attending physician when necessary
• Improperly administering medication
• Failing to note key changes on a patient’s chart
