Grand Mal Seizure Follows Cervical Myelogram, Anticipated Risk or Nursing Negligence? #nurseup

Grand Mal Seizure Follows Cervical Myelogram, Anticipated Risk or Nursing Negligence?:"Summary: With a proper Informed Consent obtained, it is accepted that a patient is aware of potential risks & complications prior to a procedure. In this case, following a cervical myelogram, a patient developed seizures and suffered an injury. The physician would blame the nursing staff for causing an "increased risk" by not following procedures."

Good Samaritan Laws & Acts. Do They Cover Nurses Volunteering Nursing Care When A Citizen Goes Anaphylactic #nurseup

 

Good Samaritan Laws & Acts. Do They Cover Nurses Volunteering Nursing Care When A Citizen Goes Anaphylactic:””Off-duty” healthcare professionals rendering Emergency aid are in most cases ”covered” by the Good Samaritan Acts. These are laws enacted in each state that provide some degree of immunity from liability for good faith efforts in giving emergency care. In this case, a nurse and physician were sued for providing assistance in a volunteer function at a ”first-aid” station. Good Samaritan ”immunity” was not recognized by the courts.”

Getting An Idea Patented, How To #Patent, #Patents, #Inventors, #Inventions, #Inventor Resources ##nursefriendly:”A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to an inventor or his assignee for a fixed period of time in exchange for a disclosure of an invention. The procedure for granting patents, the requirements placed on the patentee and the extent of the exclusive rights vary widely between countries according to national laws and international agreements. Typically, however, a patent application must include one or more claims defining the invention which must be new, inventive, and useful or industrially applicable. In many countries, certain subject areas are excluded from patents, such as business methods and mental acts. The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most countries is the right to prevent or exclude others from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the invention.”

Free Nurse Trujillo (To Use Her Knowledge) | Giving Up Control. #nurseup #amandatrujillo #nursefriendly #patient #advocacy

Free Nurse Trujillo (To Use Her Knowledge) | Giving Up Control. #nurseup #amandatrujillo #nursefriendly #patient #advocacy:”What would you do? Imagine you are a well-trained nurse. You care about your patients and are especially concerned about a terminally ill patient who is scheduled for surgery. You know that the surgery will have consequences affecting the patient’s quality of life. In your opinion, the surgery is likely to increase the patient’s suffering. You also know the patient has neither been informed that the surgery is optional nor that there are alternatives to surgery such as hospice care.
Amanda Trujillo is a nurse who was fired by Banner Health Del E. Webb Medical Center in Arizona “for requesting multi-disciplinary hospice care case management consult for a pre-transplant patient with end-stage liver disease.”

Felony #ChildAbuse Conviction, Made Possible Thanks to Nurse’s Documentation #nursefriendly #nurseup

Felony Child Abuse Conviction, Made Possible Thanks to Nurse’s Documentation. Child abuse is a ”reportable” crime. This means when a healthcare worker suspects in the course of their duties that a child has been abused, it must be reported. Procedures are in place in hospitals and other facilities for the reporting of abused children. In this case, it was the expert documentation of a child’s statements by a nurse, physician and field agent that made the conviction of an abuser possible.
State v. Gillard, 936 S.W. 2d 194 – MO (1999).

Fat Nurses Need Not Apply, Jay Doe, RN @jaydoe, @torontoemerg, #nurseup #nursefriendly:"A Texas hospital has declared war on the scourge of obese nurses:"A Victoria [Texas] hospital already embroiled in a discrimination lawsuit filed by doctors of Indian descent has instituted a highly unusual hiring policy: It bans job applicants from employment for being too overweight. The Citizens Medical Center policy, instituted a little more than a year ago, requires potential employees to have a body mass index of less than 35 — which is 210 pounds for someone who is 5-foot-5, and 245 pounds for someone who is 5-foot-10. It states that an employee’s physique "should fit with a representational image or specific mental projection of the job of a healthcare professional," including an appearance "free from distraction" for hospital patients."
