Written by an experienced legal nurse consultant
and expert witness, this case study tells the story of a patient
who entered the hospital for neck surgery and left as a paraplegic.
The events of the case are true. The case study is designed
to increase the reader’s awareness of the importance
of appropriate delegation, notification of the physician of
an incident, and the recognition of changes in a patient’s
condition.
You will learn through this case study to
identify risk factors for falls and the appropriate action
after a fall. The use of SBAR
communication, a state of the art communication technique,
is explained in a step by step process and applied to the
case. You will view portions of the patient’s actual
medical records (names have been changed) as well as his description
of what really occurred. Time line development is explained
as a tool to understand the progression of events. The case
study includes diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord compression,
analysis of liability, and a portion of one of the nurse’s
depositions. The case study concludes with lessons learned.
