Phoenix Nursing Error Attorneys

Types of Nursing Errors
When nursing errors happen, victims may suffer from varying degrees of injury. Sometimes these injuries are as simple as unnecessary bruising. Other times, the errors can result in broken bones, brain damage, and even wrongful death. Here are some of the ways these life-altering injuries can occur:
- Failure to seek assistance. These injuries happen when a nurse is confronted with a situation that they are not trained in, and yet continue to administer treatment, resulting in injury to the patient.
- Failure to take action. These injuries occur when a nurse notices signs of illness or an underlying condition that could be treated, yet does nothing.
- Sometimes, nurses use equipment incorrectly. They are either not properly trained on the equipment or the equipment itself is broken.
- Medication errors occur when a nurse administers the wrong dosage of a medication or the wrong medication entirely. They can also happen when a nurse practitioner incorrectly prescribes medication.
- Documentation and charting errors cause other medical providers to miss critical changes in a patient’s status, or miss other vital information like allergies.
- Procedural mistakes happen when a nurse does not follow hospital policy. Sometimes, the nurse was not properly trained, or policies were not developed at all.
There are many other ways nursing errors can cause injury, so, if you are suffering unnecessarily, call Lerner and Rowe’s Phoenix nursing error attorneys. We will fight for you and your family, working towards winning the highest amount of compensation possible.
