چکیده انگلیسی


• NPs should be familiar with their state’s specific Nurse Practice Act (each state has a Nurse Practice Act, which is enforced by each BON and/or medical board).
• NPs should be sure that their clinical training and certifications are current and also be familiar with the scope-of-practice law for their state.
• NPs should be aware of high risk areas in the ED and know ho to minimize these risks.
• NPs should know compliance rules and regulations and approaches to remain compliant.

Nurse practitioners play a key role in providing care to the millions of Americans who visit hospital emergency departments each year. In the emergency department environment, pediatric, geriatric, and pain management cases are areas where nurse practitioners may encounter increased liability. Failure to act in accordance with the Nurse Practice Act or established standards of care not only creates an opportunity for legal risk, but may lead to a malpractice suit or disciplinary action by the state’s board of nursing. Utilization of risk control strategies can improve quality of care and avoid malpractice and/or disciplinary actions.
