Nurses play an important role in the medical system. While a doctor is usually the one to make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment and medications, nurses are typically the healthcare professionals responsible for carrying out most types of care a patient receives. However, the following are some of the most common types of mistakes that nurses make that can cause significant patient harm:
- Medication mistakes
- Documentation
- Infection prevention and control
- Miscommunication
- Falls
If you or somebody you care about has been injured due to a medical error made by a nurse, speak to the Charlotte medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible.
