Errors made by nurses can result in emotional or physical injury and even death of a patient. Nurse errors can include:
- medication errors;
- documentation errors, like not recording a patient's medical history, allergies or condition correctly;
- careless handwriting that can lead to improper patient care;
- not monitoring a patient carefully enough;
- negligence during childbirth;
- not using a medical tool correctly; or
- failure to intervene if a patient shows signs of getting worse, such as not informing the patient's doctor.
Many a time, mistakes made by nurses can lead to injury, further illness or even death. If you think that a nurse made a mistake when caring for you or a loved one, call our New York Attorneys for a free consultation.
