If a medical assistant gives a patient the wrong medication and they die would this be a civil or criminal case?
I am going to make several assumptions: 1) The Medical Assistant is a licensed Nurse and legally authorized to administer medication (Registered Nurse - RN) or other nurse. 2) There was no foul play involved. For example, the medical assistant or nurse did not tell (or administer themselves) to the deceased to "double up" on the medication without instruction from the doctor or any other deviation from the medical exam. Or in your question, the "wrong" medication -- was is a deadly form of medication given to the patient with the intent to kill or seriously harm the patient? There are other assumptions that can be made but lacking foul-play it would be Civil matter and there are thousands of very good malpractice attorneys who all they do is investigate these matters. However, let's say it was criminal -- this would mean that the police would need to be called in, witnessed interviewed and evidence taken. The police in cooperation with the Criminal Prosecutor (usually District Attorney) may decide that there was foul play or gross negligence made by the medical assistant and therefore could bring charges in a criminal matter. However, you as an individual can not bring criminal charges against someone. You would have to ask the police to investigate it.

What type of assessments would be important for patients who will be required to self administer their medications at home?
When patients must take self-administered medications at home, it is important to assess whether they are able to understand the meds, side effects, and times of administration. The patient must also be cognitively aware and not confused (ex. Alzheimer's patients need supervision usually). The physical ability to administer a medication is also important. For example, it may be impossible for a 300 pound patient to apply topical medication to a foot infection, or a person with a burn to the mid-back cannot reach the area. As well, if administration requires a "nursing skill", the patient would need taught proper administration before taking over the administration. Some meds (Lovenox injections into the abdomen; or heparin to an IV port) can only be done by a skilled nurse.
