Which malpractice defense is most likely to be asserted if a patient fails to take medication as instructed by the doctor and becomes sicker as a result?
Contributory negligence #2 answ: Actually, there is no negligence or malpractice on the part of the doctor if the patient fails to take medication as instructed. All the doctor can do is prescribe the medication and advise the patient to take it and if that is documented in the medical chart, but the patient fails to take it, then the negligence is on the part of the patient and no responsibility for how sick they become is the fault of the doctor.
