Potential legal risks that physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals may encounter in the workplace
Imagine that you are the administrator of a city hospital and you have been asked by your hospital’s legal counsel to prepare a presentation for your hospital’s medical team that discusses negligence in the healthcare environment.
Create a presentation consisting of at least 10 slides, not including your title slide and references slide, that covers the following issues:
- potential legal risks that physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals may encounter in the workplace and
- methods physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals can use to ensure that no claims of negligence can be filed against them. In other words, explain what they can do to ensure that the environment is safe for their patients and themselves so that no becomes injured or is harmed.
