Discussion 1: Legal/Ethical issues in Nursing Education Consider the following scenario: You are the clinical instructor for 10 students on a critical care rotation. Your students are spread over four different units. All have passed the necessary competencies for this level and have successfully completed a medication administration exam. Right before lunch, you receive a call from one of your students in the cardiovascular ICU. She is crying and tells you that she made a medication error. Many thoughts are running through your mind as you proceed to the unit. 1. Research what might be the liability of the student, and what might be the liability of the educator in regards to the medication error? 2. How do you protect yourselves as nurse educators? Do any of you currently have professional liability insurance and does it cover nurse educators? If you do not currently have liability insurance, identify a carrier for nurse educators. 3. Will you be covered under your employer’s insurance if a student in your clinical group makes a medication error? 4. Finally, how will you approach this student when you arrive on the unit? What are the things to consider? What remediation, if any, should be required of the student when she returns to class? Should be at least 150 words with rationale cited and referenced with a scholarly source (textbook or article from one of the library databases).
