▪︎ The Most Frequent Reasons Nurses Are Sued for Malpractice

• 56.0% – Improper technique or negligent or performance of treatment
• 14.3% – Failure to follow facility policies and provide a safe environment
• 10.1% – Improper medication administration
• 7.5% – Failure to monitor
• 5.1% – Failure to provide proper assessment
• 3.3% – Acting outside the scope of practice (based on NSO statistics)

These failures to act as a reasonably competent nurse would have most commonly resulted in the patient’s death or pressure injuries. Less common were infections, fractures and fetal/birth brain injuries. As a LNC you need to take these breaches in the standard of care and explain them in a concise and well written report that links the breaches to the patient’s injuries or disprove this theory.
