Nursing malpractice claims are escalating, which equates to a higher risk of being named in a lawsuit and possibly defending one's actions in court. The perianesthesia nurse is at particular risk because of patient involvement before, during, and after surgical procedures. To minimize this risk nurses should have a clear understanding of how a malpractice claim proceeds and the common incidents involved. Three perianesthesia case studies are presented that identify potential nursing litigation threats and strategies to reduce those threats.
护理不当索赔案件不断增加，这意味着被卷入诉讼并可能在法庭上为自己的行为辩护的风险更高。由于患者在手术前、手术中和手术后都需要围麻醉期护士的参与，因此围麻醉期护士面临的风险尤为突出。为了将这种风险降至最低，护士应清楚了解不当索赔的流程以及其中涉及的常见事件。本文介绍了三个围麻醉期案例研究，这些研究确定了潜在的护理诉讼威胁以及降低这些威胁的策略。
