NURSES INVOLVED IN LAWSUITS 3
Nurses Involved in Lawsuits and
Jon Jeffery Quianzon Case
The Legal system and health care system are both intertwined in many more ways than we think. Every time, we as nurses hear an advertisement for legal services like “Morgan and Morgan” the first thought that comes to our mind is that they are here to take our jobs away from us. As nurses, we are more liable for a lawsuit than the average citizen. Finkleman and Kenner (2013), describe legal issues as being a part of every nurse’s practice. They further explain that the nurse’s license itself is a legal issue that is enforced through the legal system (p.190). A form of …show more content…
Also, while abusing the patient he proceeded to put penis in her butt crack but there was no penetration (2014). He was caught red-handed assaulting his patient by the attending physician doing his rounds (2014). The second cause for discipline that was filed against Mr Quianzon was that he violated Business and Professional code, section 2761, subdivision (f) Criminal Conviction (Board of Registered Nursing, 2013). This means that any nurse in California that violates Penal Code 243.4, subdivision (b) and has received a felony judgment and now has a felony record (Board of Registered Nursing, 2013). Any nurse that has a felony automatically has violated the Business and Professional code, section 2761 and may have their license suspended as the nursing board deems (Board of Registered Nursing, 2013). Mr Quianzon’s nursing license has been suspended, he has spent six months in prison, he is a registered sex offender, and he is on probation for 5 years (Board of Registered Nursing, …show more content…

The attorney Jason Runckel is helping his client to sue the hospital
NURSES INVOLVED IN LAWSUITS 5 for monetary damages because the hospital failed to report Mr Quianzon to authorities for the sexual assault he committed in 2009, did not take appropriate action against him and continued to let Mr Quianzon practice alone with and around female patients without any supervision (Rosynsky,

    Impact On Nursing Practice, Education And Leadership Case Study

    As the population grows, physicians will not be able to perform at a competent level and provide complete patient care without a substantial number of nurses. Reliance on nurses is necessary to reform the health care system. Barriers such as regultatory restrictions regarding scope of practice, professional resistance by physicians, and insurance company reimbursment pactices hinder RN’s and Advanced Practice Nurse’s from practicing to the full extent of their education and compromise patient outcomes (Richard Ridge, 2011). Autonomy is an issue in some states regarding APN’s role. Some states require physician oversight to diagnose, treat, prescribe, or make referrals. Compensation for services is also an concern. Independent insurance providers, Medicaid, and Medicare compensate APN’s at reduced rates or not at all and may not cover prescribed prescriptions unless a physician signs off. Professional resistance is also an problem. The Scope of Practice Partnership lobbies against state expansion of the APN’s role stating they lack medical education, clinical knowledge and cognitive and technical skills which are acquired only in medical school ( IOM, 2011). These restrictions make it difficult to meet the demands of patient care. Outdated insurance practices also pose an obstacle by restricting insurance reimbursement to APN’s. Some…

    Texas Nursing Failure

    Registered nurses are expected to uphold specialized skill, safely provide care, and act as an advocate for the patient by complying with the Texas Nurse Practice Act. Under Subchapter I, Sec. 301.401 “Reporting Violations and Patient Care Concerns” defines the nurse’s responsibility to ethically and in good faith, report negligent and suspicious behavior to the Texas Board of Nursing. Violations of the Act which require reporting include, but are not limited to, conduct of a nurse that gives a reasonable suspicion to believe that behaviors are induced by chemical dependency and intentional or negligent actions of a nurse that contribute to the death of a patient. These prohibitory actions are subject to review by a peer committee, which will report recommendations to the Board on disciplinary actions, if any, against the nurse. Under Subchapter I, Sec. 301.402 of the Act, the nurse reporting the violation is protected from suspension, termination, or any other retaliatory act that may occur as a result of the…
