Savannah, Georgia Nursing Negligence
In Savannah, Georgia nursing malpractice occurs when a nurse does not fulfill duties in a way that a normally competent nurse in the similar circumstances would and that negligence injures the patient. Keep in mind that not every mistake or unfortunate event that happens in a hospital or doctor’s office rises to the level of negligence.
Administering medication as per the doctor’s orders is a common nursing task. If the nurse does not follow the directions, she or he will be liable for malpractice if the patient is injured. The nurse can also be liable for negligently following otherwise correct orders, like injecting a medication into muscle instead of a vein or injecting the wrong patient.
Administration of anesthesia needs specialized training and certification. The seriousness and number of complications are significantly higher outside of the setting of the anesthesiologist in the operating room. Visits to dentists, cosmetic surgery procedures, and a host of other out-patient scenarios are all common places for anesthesia to be used and in many such scenarios, the anesthesiologist is not there and is administered by the doctors, dentists, surgeons, nurses or other health care providers.
