Identify some of the possible barriers that nurses face when acting on what they believe to be the morally correct action in this particular case
Mistakes occur everyday in a thousand different ways. Even the best minds in the world fumble occasionally. It is from these times of failure that new ways to succeed evolve and can enrich society. However, there are times when mistakes can cause serious harm. This is particularly accurate when it comes to the medical field. The medical malpractice attorneys at Spector Injury & Accident Lawyers wants to make sure you are always protected, and that you understand the difference between medical negligence from medical malpractice.
What is Medical Negligence?
Our definition of medical negligence is when a medical professional or provider fails to provide the standard of care, that could result in causing harm to a patient. Examples of medical negligence include unnecessary surgery, failure to understand or recognize symptoms, and surgical errors, just to name a few.
What is medical Malpractice?
When it comes to medical malpractice, our definition is when a medical professional, such as a nurse, doctor, or pharmacist, fails to provide a patient with the accepted standard of practice and causes harm, injury and/or death. Some examples of medical malpractice include the wrong procedure being performed, patient suicide, surgery performed on the wrong body part, and typically any type of event that should never take place in a medical facility under any circumstance.
