Introduction :
The availability of resources for health care is a hot topic of debate. It is
clear that the provision of medical services occurs in an environment of
resource limitation, notwithstanding government assertions about
increased funding and decreasing wait times within the NHS. This
seminar's goal is to look at the legal issues that could come up for nurses
trying to care for patients and uphold standards of practice in the face of
such financial strains. Among the concerns examined are the options
available to nurses in the event that they are required to perform tasks
3
beyond their scope of practice or education, as well as potential judicial
accommodations.
Definitions :
Responsibility : is explained as the obligation to perform duties, tasks
or roles using sound professional judgement and being answerable for
the decisions made in doing this . For example, nurses are responsible
for administration of medication and providing comprehensive pt care.

with the newest supplies and equipment despite the rapid
improvements in medical technology.
Malpractice
non-nursing tasks (e.g., cleaning)
unfinished nursing care which expresses the nursing care planned
but not delivered or delivered late
Imbalanced workload was the most important cause of stress,
dissatisfaction and burnout in the work environment. Inappropriate
nurse-patient ratios, high workloads, overtime, rapid turnover of
patients, and conducting non-nursing tasks were the major
constituents of imbalanced workloads.
Inadequate staffing and heavy workloads threatened patient safety
and care quality.
Heavy workloads, boring environments, and the lack of possibility
to ask for days off lead to emotional exhaustion and a tendency to
absenteeism

Crowded wards with high levels of turnover and poor physical
environments lead to serious physical harm to the patients and
nurses.
Malpractice in Nursing
Botched Treatment
Failure to Monitor
6
Nurses are often in charge of monitoring a patient’s condition to identify
and report signs of worrisome changes. A nurse with a monitoring
obligation who fails to adequately observe and respond to potential
problems could be held accountable for the consequences of this failure.
Medication Errors
It is common for nurses to administer medication to patients. If they make
a mistake, such as providing the wrong medication or the wrong dose,
this medication error is a clear cut example of malpractice in nursing.
Improper Documentation
When nurses are tasked with updating patient medical records or
documenting treatment and they fail to do so correctly (or to do so at all),
this can have consequences for future treatment. It can also be an
actionable form of nursing malpractice if the nurse’s omissions or errors
are the direct cause of harm.

elements needed to prove nursing malpractice
Duty :
In the work environment, a duty is created when the nurse accepts
responsibility for a patient and establishes a nurse-patient relationship.
This generally occurs during inpatient care upon acceptance of a handoff
report from another nurse. Outside the work environment, a nurse-patient
relationship is created when the nurse volunteers services. Some states
have statutes requiring notification of authorities (also referred to as
mandatory reporting) or summoning assistance.

Standards of care
10
For example:
A mental health patient in Jinks v. Cardwell drowned in the bathtub due
to a hypotensive reaction to his medication. The hospital violated its duty
of care to protect a patient in multiple ways, including by having
insufficient staff, and the trial judge determined that this constituted
direct negligence. "Thirty-three mentally ill patients were being cared for
by just two nurses—one RNA and one RN. One of these nurses was
obliged to be in an inner office doing reports during shift change, which
was from 7:00 to 07:30. She was unable to assist with patient care or
supervision during this period.
Who is responsible
A nurse can be held legally liable for malpractice in nursing.
Supervising physicians and the clinic or hospital where the nurse
works can also be held liable for the negligent actions of a nurse.
The doctor or hospital could be held responsible based on their
own negligence for inadequate supervision or other improper
policies or based on a legal doctrine called vicarious liability that
makes employers responsible for negligent acts of their staff
members. Can nurses realistically do anything to reduce the risk of
harm? The answer is yes. Implementation of risk-management
strategies depends almost entirely on RNs. These strategies include:
patient assessment, communication of patient assessment,
identification of risk, notifying management of resource-related risks,
notifying physicians of treatment-related risks, planning and co-
ordinating care including delegation of tasks to other workers,
determining appropriate orientation and education for new staff and
support workers, and providing appropriate supervision in conformity
with professional standards and institutional policies.
