Nurses are constantly gaining more and more responsibilities in the medical field. With these responsibilities come more potentially mistakes, and the consequences of those mistakes are much more serious than they used to be. In light of these changes in the medical industry, medical malpractice claims filed against nurses are becoming more common every day. San Antonio nursing malpractice attorney Michael Grossman is here to give you a brief overview of nursing malpractice, and tell you how Grossman Law Offices can help you.

Nursing malpractice can take a number of forms, but in general, nurses are negligent when they fail to live up to the standard of care set by other professionals in their field. This negligence can include:

  • Failure to properly monitor a patient’s vital signs
  • Failure to gather tests results in a timely manner
  • Failure to monitor and/or report changes in a patient’s condition to that patient’s attending physician
  • Errors committed while providing patient medication or other forms of patient care
