This is a particularly important matter considering the amount of responsibility today&#8217;s nurses hold. In hospital settings, nurses typically carry out the majority of patient care, carrying out doctor orders, administering medication, responding to patients&#8217; needs, monitoring medical equipment and acting as a go-between from the patient to the doctor or doctors. Depending on whether a person is a registered nurse (RN) or licensed vocational nurse (LVN), he or she may have different responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>There are situations where a nurse may make a mistake or act negligently, causing a patient to suffer some form of harm. When this occurs, an injured patient may be able to seek financial compensation for the physical, financial and emotional harm suffered. This is typically done by way of a <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/medical-malpractice\/about-medical-malpractice\/\">negligencia m\u00e9dica<\/a> pleito contra el <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/medical-malpractice\/hospital-negligence\/\">hospital<\/a> u otro centro m\u00e9dico que emplee a la enfermera.<\/p>\n<h3>Ejemplos de negligencia de enfermer\u00eda<\/h3>\n<p>To gain a better understanding of nursing malpractice, let&#8217;s take a look at the definition and some examples. Nursing malpractice may be defined as any failure on the part of a nurse to provide proper or adequate care to a patient. It may be committed through an act or inaction, as long as the final result is substandard care and an injured patient. Examples follow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Una enfermera que accidentalmente administra el <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/medical-malpractice\/medication-error\/\">medicaci\u00f3n equivocada<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>A nurse who delays in responding to a patient&#8217;s distress call.<\/li>\n<li>Una enfermera que es negligente en el seguimiento de un paciente despu\u00e9s de la cirug\u00eda.<\/li>\n<li>A nurse who forgets to write down on a patient&#8217;s chart that medication was administered.<\/li>\n<li>A nurse who does not listen to a patient&#8217;s complaints of certain symptoms or fails to relate these to the attending physician.<\/li>\n<li>A nurse who does not check a patient&#8217;s chart before administering care.<\/li>\n<li>Una enfermera que realiza incorrectamente un procedimiento m\u00e9dico.<\/li>\n<li>Una enfermera que lee mal o no controla el equipo m\u00e9dico.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Estos errores a menudo se clasifican en una de tres categor\u00edas clave: demorar o no hacer o decir nada cuando un paciente lo necesita (incluida la falta de seguimiento de un paciente), lesionar a un paciente con equipo m\u00e9dico y administrar medicamentos de manera incorrecta. No importa el tipo de error, un paciente puede sufrir lesiones graves o incluso perder la vida. La naturaleza grave de los errores y malas pr\u00e1cticas de enfermer\u00eda hace que tomar acciones legales sea a\u00fan m\u00e1s importante.<\/p>\n<h3>Who is liable for a nurse&#8217;s mistake?<\/h3>\n<p>Cuando una enfermera registrada o una enfermera vocacional con licencia comete un error o es negligente en el cuidado de un paciente, el empleador generalmente ser\u00e1 responsable. Este suele ser el hospital u otro centro m\u00e9dico para el que trabaja la enfermera. El paciente lesionado o el representante del paciente puede presentar una demanda civil contra el hospital o la instalaci\u00f3n, buscando una compensaci\u00f3n financiera por da\u00f1os tales como:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gastos m\u00e9dicos;<\/li>\n<li>Atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica futura;<\/li>\n<li>Terapia f\u00edsica;<\/li>\n<li>Dispositivos de asistencia o cuidado en el hogar, si es necesario;<\/li>\n<li>P\u00e9rdida de ingresos mientras no pod\u00eda trabajar;<\/li>\n<li>Futuro lucro cesante;<\/li>\n<li>Dolor y sufrimiento; y\/o<\/li>\n<li>Trauma emocional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Llame a un abogado de negligencia m\u00e9dica de Nueva York<\/h2>\n<p>Nursing malpractice cases are notoriously complex, like all <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.napolilaw.com\/practice-areas\/about-medical-malpractice\/\" title=\"negligencia m\u00e9dica\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">negligencia m\u00e9dica<\/a> matters. These are technical in nature and involve procedures and medical conditions that can be hard to understand. Because it will be necessary for the plaintiff (injured patient or representative) to prove that the nurse provided substandard care, it will also be necessary to prove what would have constituted standard care and how the nurse deviated from this. A review of medical records and complete investigation will be required to build a strong case against the at-fault party.<\/p>\n<p>At Napoli\u00a0Shkolnik PLLC, we not only have the experience and knowledge needed to approach these complicated cases but the resources to conduct complete investigations that help us create compelling arguments for our clients.
