You are working on a medical unit of a hospital. At lunch a nurse mentions that one of her patients, Mrs. Fraser, was constantly asking for pain medication. The nurse reports that she took care of the problem by setting up a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) system for Mrs. Fraser but did not tell her what she was doing so she could not object. Has this nurse committed a civil wrong? If so, what kind?
Homework Answers
Answer: Treatment of the patient requires transparency between the healthcare providers and patients. The nurse should inform the patient regarding the drug that has been dispensed to the patient. In this case the nurse didn't inform the patient. Hence she has committed civil wrong. The kind of the civil wrong is the tort. The tort is a breach of civil law where breach of trust and contract.

NM 121 Skin Case Study Case Scenario “Oh no,” muttered Ann, a registered nurse (RN), as she turned over the client and looked at her client’s back. A large, black-purple area was evident on the buttock’s region. A wave of guilt passed through Ann. She had tried to get help earlier—it took two people to turn this heavy lady—but the unit was busy, and another client’s blood pressure had crashed.

5. Ms. Smith, a nurse in the 150-bed community hospital in Ocala (popula- tion 50,000), is a shrewd overseer. She has noted that Dr. Coupay does an extraordinary number of hysterectomies on very young women. He does as many as 10 to 15 per week. While nursing Dr. Coupay's patients, Ms. Smith gets the impression that they were rushed into the operation and did not fully understand what was happening. Through friends in Pathology, she hears a rumor that most...
