Description:

Nurse Sue wondered why she was called to the nursing admin office. While she raced to Terry her boss, Sue mentally reviewed the tasks that she was behind on. Sue sat down and Terry had another person in her workplace. “Hi Sue, this is the lawyer from our corporate office. You remember Mr. F. who was in about a year ago? The family has filed a lawsuit related to the pressure injury care you provided to him. We will need a list of the wound care classes you have taken before you are expected to give a deposition next week.”

This nurse felt panic attack very quickly. What went wrong?-You can also-real scenario? What is the facility’s responsibility? What should Sue do to help? Sue should you pursue her alone? After one day of learning, you’ll be able to answer the questions, practice with more confidence and create strategies to protect yourself.
