Scenario
Your nurse manager has asked you to identify some key points from best practices in guarding against malpractice and to develop a small reminder resource for the staff nurses. The resource could be designed to attach to the back of a name badge or put into a small notebook that reminds them of the key steps for best practice and the standards of care for legal responsibility and malpractice.
Instructions
Create a legal resource for nursing staff that:
• Examines the definition of standards of care and scope of practice within your state.
• Determines the essential elements of nursing malpractice.
• Appraises best practices for legal compliance.
• Provides stated ideas with professional language and attribution for credible sources with correct APA citation, spelling, and grammar in the legal resource.
Assignment:
Here are some examples of badge buddies......you can see some students created on a word doc, others used PDF. An expected size would be no larger than 5 x 5; it would be unusual to have something larger than that hanging around your neck with your badge.
Have fun - be creative. Mostly, be sure to speak to the requirements of the assignment. The examples I have posted are not to be viewed for content - just examples of creation.
