Topics covered include a matter-of-fact view on medication error, documentation, breach of confidentiality, patient safety, assessment and monitoring, and patient rights. Supplemented by a special chapter on being sued and what to do, as well as featured opinions and contributions of more than two dozen nurse attorneys and risk-management and malpractice experts.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for nurses,
By Marold "marold4444" (South Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nursing Malpractice: Sidestepping Legal Minefields (Paperback)
This book covers every legal aspect of nursing. It is incredibly helpful for practicing nurses. It discusses ways to stay out of medical malpractice suits and discusses some real cases. It's brief, but not too brief. It's easy for someone not well-versed in law to understand. The book is well organized with practical points. I think it's a great addition to any nurse's library---especially since we are currently living in such a litigous society.
