Table of Contents
Since the original publication
of Nursing Malpractice in 1996, this book has become
the most comprehensive book on nursing malpractice.
Nursing Malpractice is the book needed to assist
in the screening and preparation of cases and the reduction
of risks of patient injury. The efforts to reduce risks
and improve patient safety have become more visible since
the publication of the second edition of this book. The
nursing shortage has worsened since the book was first published,
raising concerns about patient safety. The chapters in this
text have been extensively updated to reflect the changes
in nursing. The publication of this edition includes 45
chapters, including 15 new chapters. Nursing Malpractice,
Third Edition is divided into seven parts:
Patient
Safety
Nursing Practice
Common Areas of Nursing Liability
Advanced Roles
Causes of Action
Damages
Litigation of Nursing Malpractice Cases
Appendix of medical terms, abbreviations, definitions, and
websites.
Nursing
Malpractice is geared to attorneys who represent either
plaintiffs or defendants and to legal nurse consultants.
Insurance personnel such as claims investigators and risk
management personnel who work in acute care settings can
use it. Legal nurse consultants and risk managers have come
to rely on the comprehensive perspective of nursing malpractice
presented in prior editions. Healthcare facility leaders
are encouraged to use this valuable resource to educate
and make a positive impact on the delivery of health care
to patients. A unique blend of attorneys, nurse attorneys,
nurse expert witnesses, legal nurse consultants, pharmacists,
a jury consultant, and a physician contributed chapters
for this book. To our knowledge, this text remains the only
one on the market written for attorneys on nursing malpractice
using such a broad base of expert authors.
Barbara
Levin collaborated with Patricia Iyer as the editor of the
third edition of Nursing Malpractice. Their previous
joint efforts have included Legal
Nurse Consulting: Principles and Practices, for
which Barbara was an associate editor and Patricia Iyer
was chief editor, and Iyer, Levin and Shea, Medical
Legal Aspects of Medical Records.

Reviews
for the second edition
"Nursing Malpractice
is a must for any LNC's library."
-Elena McAllister, RN, BA-
I have a fabulous book that I just picked up at the
last AALNC conference in Denver. It's called Nursing
Malpractice, 2nd Edition; edited by our own Patricia
Iyer, RN, MSN, LNCC. I have found it extremely useful and
very well organized. I also like the reams of references
that are included in the bibliography after each section
and chapter. I highly recommend this book for any legal
nurse consultant's library.
-Rebecca Israel RN, BSN, CCRN, CLNC-

Malpractice
is excellent. The discussion regarding the pain and suffering
was particularly helpful. I am sure it will be of great
assistance to all of us who handle medical malpractice and
significant personal injury cases."
-Abbott Brown JD-
"The
chapter was one of the best written materials that I have
reviewed in a long time. The material was accurate and articulated
well."
-Barbara Hirsh, RN, JD-
"Great
practical tips for new lawyers practicing in this specialized
area!"
-Julie Barnesi RN, JD-
"Comprehensive
and clear. "
-Janine Fiesta, RN, JD-
"Excellent
overview of medical charting. Comprehensive study which
could prepare most attorneys to understand the medical record
notes."
-Randi Kopf RN, JD-
"Excellent!
A must for those at entry level!"
-A. David Tammelleo, JD-
"Comprehensive,
good combination of nursing and trial law. I was impressed
with what you have done. As you know, the difficulty in
such an undertaking is to address areas of trial practice
that would apply in any jurisdiction and those which vary
considerably. I think that you did a good job with both."
-Paul Waldner JD-
