One of the most essential tools in any nurse's legal defense fund is to acquire a copy of the Nurse Practice Act, also known as "the Act" from your State Board of Nursing. "The Act" is the standard by which decisions will be made regarding issues relating to malpractice suits. Answers to the types of questions listed below can be found in "the Act". If you don't have a copy from your state, visit the Nurse Practice Act and request one ASAP. And if you relocate, request a new one with your license. Can an LPN care for patient with a Swan-Ganz catheter? Can an LPN hang a piggyback with 50 cc's of fluid in it or push IV-meds? What are the duties of a nurse's aid and are the RN's liable? Link to article and discussion: The nurses legal toolkit - The Nurse Practice Act We've got links and contact information to the State Boards of Nursing so you can locate your practice act and review it.
