Create a malpractice scenario using the elements of negligence as discussed in the lecture and your textbook. You must create a scenario using a patient/ healthcare provider relationship and incident. Simply defining the elements of malpractice negligence in a paragraph is not sufficient. You need to draft a hypothetical situation, and explain why the patient does, or does not, have a claim for negligence, (specifically malpractice). You do not need to submit your answer in the IRAC format, but make sure you include your textbook as a reference. You may use additional outside references, but they must also be submitted in the APA format.

                                             

For first two questions this applies -submit the legal portion of your answer in the IRAC (Issue, Rule, Application and Conclusion) format. Refer to the syllabus for more information on the IRAC format. Your response should be at least 200 words in length. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. Any references or citations used should be in APA style.

2 A patient goes to a doctor for pain in his left ear. The doctor diagnoses him and schedules the patient for surgery. The patient signs a consent form for the surgery. The doctor performs the surgery but also performs a medically necessary surgery on the patient’s right ear. If the patient did not have surgery on his right ear, it is possible he could have suffered permanent hearing loss in that ear. Using an Internet search engine, reference the legal case Berkey v. Anderson for guidance on answering the following question: Does the patient have any claims against the doctor? If so what claim(s) and why?

3 A cardiac patient recovering from open-heart surgery complains to a nurse that she was having mild chest pain and shortness of breath. The nurse is on her way to lunch.

When she returns from lunch, she forgets about the patient’s earlier complaints and resumes her duties of caring for her other patients. Later that day the patient dies from cardiac complications. Discuss the legal and ethical issues in this case.
