Table of Contents
Since the original publication
of Nursing Malpractice in 1996, this book has become
the most comprehensive book on nursing malpractice.
Nursing Malpractice is the book needed to assist
in the screening and preparation of cases and the reduction
of risks of patient injury. The efforts to reduce risks and
improve patient safety have become more visible since the
publication of the second edition of this book. The nursing
shortage has worsened since the book was first published,
raising concerns about patient safety. The chapters in this
text have been extensively updated to reflect the changes
in nursing. The publication of this edition includes 45 chapters,
including 15 new chapters. Nursing Malpractice, Third
Edition is divided into seven parts:
Patient
Safety
Nursing Practice
Common Areas of Nursing Liability
Advanced Roles
Causes of Action
Damages
Litigation of Nursing Malpractice Cases
Appendix of medical terms, abbreviations, definitions, and
websites.
Nursing
Malpractice is geared to attorneys who represent either
plaintiffs or defendants and to legal nurse consultants. Insurance
personnel such as claims investigators and risk management
personnel who work in acute care settings can use it. Legal
nurse consultants and risk managers have come to rely on the
comprehensive perspective of nursing malpractice presented
in prior editions. Healthcare facility leaders are encouraged
to use this valuable resource to educate and make a positive
impact on the delivery of health care to patients. A unique
blend of attorneys, nurse attorneys, nurse expert witnesses,
legal nurse consultants, pharmacists, a jury consultant, and
a physician contributed chapters for this book. To our knowledge,
this text remains the only one on the market written for attorneys
on nursing malpractice using such a broad base of expert authors.
Barbara
Levin collaborated with Patricia Iyer as the editor of the
third edition of Nursing Malpractice. Their previous
joint efforts have included Legal
Nurse Consulting: Principles and Practices, for which
Barbara was an associate editor and Patricia Iyer was chief
editor, and Iyer, Levin and Shea, Medical
Legal Aspects of Medical Records.

Reviews
for the second edition
"Nursing Malpractice
is a must for any LNC's library."
-Elena McAllister, RN, BA-
I have a fabulous book that I just picked up at the last
AALNC conference in Denver. It's called Nursing Malpractice,
2nd Edition; edited by our own Patricia Iyer, RN, MSN,
LNCC. I have found it extremely useful and very well organized.
I also like the reams of references that are included in the
bibliography after each section and chapter. I highly recommend
this book for any legal nurse consultant's library.
-Rebecca Israel RN, BSN, CCRN, CLNC-

to all of us who handle medical malpractice and significant
personal injury cases."

"Excellent
overview of medical charting. Comprehensive study which could
prepare most attorneys to understand the medical record notes."
-Randi Kopf RN, JD-
"Excellent!
A must for those at entry level!"
-A. David Tammelleo, JD-
"Comprehensive,
good combination of nursing and trial law. I was impressed
with what you have done. As you know, the difficulty in such
an undertaking is to address areas of trial practice that
would apply in any jurisdiction and those which vary considerably.
I think that you did a good job with both."
-Paul Waldner JD-
