DescriptionNurse Sue was perplexed as to why she had been summoned to the nursing administration office. As she raced to meet Terry, her employer, she mentally ran through the list of duties she was already late on. Terry had someone else in her office when Sue arrived. “This is the lawyer from our corporate office, Sue.” Do you recall Mr. F. from approximately a year ago? The family has filed a lawsuit against you in connection with the pressure injury care you gave to him. Before your deposition next week, we will require a list of the wound care seminars you have taken.”
For this genuine nurse, terror struck quickly. What went wrong in this all-too-common situation? What is the facility’s obligation? Sue, what should she do? Is Sue the only member of the squad who should be pursued? After spending one informative day with Ann Taylor MS, RN, CWOCN®, National Wound Expert and Legal Consultant, you will be able to answer these concerns, practice more confidently, and establish methods to protect yourself.
