Study Notes
Legal Principles in Nursing
- Laws dictate societal conduct
- Healthcare professionals face civil and criminal liability based on case specifics
- Standards of care outline the legal requirements for nursing, describing acceptable minimum practice.
- The Turkish Nurses Association (TNA) formulates standards for nursing practice, policy statements, etc.
- A tort is a civil wrong against a person or property
- Torts are categorized as intentional, quasi-intentional, and unintentional
- Intentional torts include actions like assault and battery (hitting someone) or defamation (damaging one's reputation).
- Quasi-intentional torts include situations where harm is not intended but someone still committed a wrong (e.g., invasion of privacy).
- Unintentional torts are typically accidental, such as mistakes (e.g., negligence, like giving the wrong medication).
Civil and Common Law Issues in Nursing Practice
- Consent: Signed consent forms are mandatory for routine treatment, hazardous procedures (e.g., surgery), and research.
- Patients sign general consent forms upon hospital admission.
- Separate consent forms are required for specialized procedures.
- Nurses must understand state laws and their institution's policies on consent.
- Informed Consent: A patient's agreement to a procedure after receiving relevant information about it, including risks.
- Without informed consent, a patient can sue for negligence.
- Informed consent only valid in emergency cases.
Civil and Common Law Issues in Nursing Practice: Torts
- Assault: Threat of physical harm to patient (even without actual contact) is considered assault. It is important to ensure that no action is attempted against the patient without their consent.
- Battery: Intentional touching without consent, involving actions that exceed the scope of patient consent. e.g., a surgical procedure performed beyond the consent (e.g., a tonsillectomy instead of an appendectomy).
- Invasion of Privacy (Quasi-Intentional Tort): Release of a patient's medical information to unauthorized persons (e.g., family, employer, news media) is an invasion of privacy. Patient medical information can only be shared with healthcare providers for treatment.
Civil and Common Law Issues in Nursing Practice: Torts
- Negligence (Unintentional Tort): Conduct that falls below a standard of care.
- Examples include failing to stop at a stop sign (in a car) or mistaking a medication.
- Malpractice: One type of negligence. It includes factors like a nurse having a duty to perform, failing to fulfill that duty to the patient, causing patient injury, and the actions to be the cause of the injury.
