What is nursing negligence?
Nursing negligence can lead to damage mentally, physically or both, and this can have devastating impacts on the lives of patients.
Examples of nursing negligence that can cause a patient to suffer injury include:
- Failure to prevent falls
- Failure to prevent or properly treat bed sores
- Failure to mobilise patient
- Medication and/or document errors
- Failure to check correct blood used
- Monitoring a patient and recording observations inappropriately
- Failing to follow established procedures correctly
- Failing to call for specialist help (including delay)
- Internal bleeding not detected
- Not helping a patient to use bathroom
- Failing to recognise limitations e.g. performing procedure without proper training
Nursing negligence occurs when acts are performed which are deemed to be below a competence level expected of someone in their position. The consequences of nursing negligence include the staff member being suspended fired or losing their license. But the consequences for injured patients can be much more.
