A nurse humiliates a patient what tort occurred?
The way in which the humiliation occurs is vital to determining which tort should be applied in this situation. Negligence is where a duty of care to a party has been breached by a second party. As in this case the nurse would have a clear duty of care to his/her patient, then if the humiliation was a consequence of mistreatment, or the nurse not correctly addessing the needs of the patient, then this tort can be applied Nucience is where a party interrupts the right of another party to quiet enjoyment of their property. I doubt that this tort could be applied in this situation, but if the humiliation came from the nurse continually acting in a manner contarary to the best interests of the patient, then it may be applied. maybe. Defamation is the tort that covers a persons implied right to a good reputation. So if the patient was humiliated due to an act or omission by the nurse, then this should be applied. Tresspass refers to the right of a person to private enjoyment of their property (i'm pretty sure). However, there are very limited situations when this could be applied. The downside to any of these actions is that it needs to be proved that monetarily quantifiable loss has ensued due to the actions of the nurse, whcih may be difficult to prove.

What can nurses do to reduce the harm caused by medication administration error events for hospitalized patients?
With the hundreds of medication categories, and the thousands of medication names and uses, it is vital that nurses practice 'defensive' nursing skills.A nurse must not practice outside their scope of education, to protect both the nurse and the patients.A nurse needs to practice using clear standards of nursing tasks, which starts when she reads a patient's chart and doctor's medication orders.A nurse needs to KNOW the medication prior to administering it; if she does not know, she MUST look it up first.A nurse MUST know common side effects BEFORE giving a medication and be able to recognize an adverse event and know what to do if it occurs.A nurse MUST know the steps of safe administration (right drug, right dosage, right patient, right time, right route of administration, right site of administration, etc.), AND perform these steps every time he or she gives a medication.A nurse MUST be able to inform and teach the patient about every medication she gives.A nurse MUST know what to do IF a patient refuses a medication.IF an adverse reaction occurs, a nurse must know the policies for reporting this to the doctor, to follow any standing orders for common side effects, and to take any steps he orders to reduce the negative effect. For example of a standing order, when to administer Narcan to a patient whose vital signs drop after just receiving a narcotic by any route, but especially one given by IV or IM.A nurse MUST follow through with the institution's policies for charting adverse reactions AND completing an incident report when required.A nurse MUST be able to review his own actions to recognize any nursing deficiencies in her practice of nursing, and be able to accept any remedial education needed to prevent an incident from occurring again, if the event could have been avoided.A nurse MUST be willing to pursue regular CEU education about medications and about nursing actions regarding the proper administration of medications.
Are there deaf people work in hospital?
Of course! A deaf person has every right to work any where they wish to work. Yes, in certain areas. It depends on what the person has to do. For example, it would be difficult for a deaf person to be a nurse. A nurse has to be able to communicate easily with a patient, and also has to be able to listen to the heart, lungs, bowels, etc. In many cases, the safety of the patient has to come first. If the person is unable to fulfill the duties of the job, then they don't get the job, whether they have an impairment of any kind or not.
Why do hospital pharmacies repackage and unit-dose medications?
Patients in bed take a single dose of medicine. They do not take a whole bottle. The meds are placed in small containers, frequently cups, for each patient. The meds (medications) nurse comes around with the meds cart and gives each patient his or her appropriate meds at the appropriate time of day. If the medicine were left in a big bottle in the room, some confused patients might take the entire bottle. In one case, the meds nurse left the meds on the bed table and another patient walked into the room and took the drugs. That was a mess! The meds nurse must watch to see that the appropriate patient takes the right drugs!
