Nursing Malpractice

An outstanding reference for the attorney or claims adjustor investigating a nursing malpractice claim, the second edition of Nursing Malpractice brings you a wealth of information and resources to use in bringing a case to trial.

Comprehensive and full of inside information, Ms. Iyer's book covers the spectrum of the nursing process--from patient admittance to lawsuit. Packed with tips and techniques for finding the missing loophole, this volume reveals typical ways in which nurses try to cover up their mistakes, and shows how nurses are caught in a difficult position between the insurance company lawyers and hospital procedures. It details your defendant nurse's daily routine, whether as a surgical nurse or nurse-supervisor in a nursing home setting, giving a comprehensive feel for all the actions which fall under a nurse's responsibility. Nursing Malpractice makes an excellent addition to your library.
