The topic for this week’s discussion is moral courage and the concept of malpractice.
âIn one case, following a physicianâs order to discharge a patient did not shield a nurse from partial liability for the patientâs death. A patient who complained of severe abdominal pain was diagnosed as having a urinary tract infection, and a discharge order was given by the physician without a physical examination. The nurse was concerned about the discharge order enough to consult with the nursing supervisor but took no further action. A few hours after discharge, the patient was readmitted with a ruptured appendix, developed adult respiratory distress syndrome, and eventually expiredâ (Westrick, 2014, p. 31). Was this an issue of staffing, lack of moral courage, or organizational structure?
