- Give a brief summary of the scenario and identify which of the four malpractice elements were present, must be present, and why.
- Offer strategies on how to avoid these constructs in your advanced practices.
- Finally, comment on the medical malpractice trends of Nurse Practitioners (see the article linked in this week’s readings) as it relates to these malpractice examples. What would a reasonable NP have done, in your opinion?
