Description

Which classifications of law are more commonly applied to professional nursing? (This is asking about criminal vs civil [or tort] vs administrative [or regulatory] law). Use a current media source (e.g., Internet, newspaper article) to describe a health-care related incident that depicts one of the classifications of law. If you want to apply this to lawsuits that are springing up around COVID, you can. Or feel free to discuss the current unusual case of RaDonda Vaught who was found guilty of criminally negligent homicide and gross neglect of an impaired adult after a medication error cause concern? Should a nurse who makes an unintended medical error be subject to criminal law? Criminal law should be reserved for criminals, those who intentionally cause harm. Should Ms. Vaught have lost her license? Should the courts be making licensing decisions, or should the Board of Nursing retain that authority? If the courts take over licensing for nurses, that seems to fly in the face of the very definition of nursing as a profession.
