Some
of the grounds that relate specifically
to
assignments are:
Failure
to utilize appropriate judgment in administering safe nursing practice including
failure to supervise those to whom nursing activities have been delegated.
Incompetence,
negligence or malpractice which results in injury to a patient or which creates
a risk that a patient may be harmed.
Performing
acts beyond the scope of practice for which the nurse is licensed.
Performing
nursing techniques or procedures for which the nurse lacks knowledge,
experience, and education without instruction, supervision and/or consultation.
Delegating
nursing care, functions, tasks, responsibilities to to others who the nurse
knows or has reason to know lacks the ability or knowledge to perform
responsibilities which are to be performed only by licensed persons.
Leaving
a patient care nursing assignment without notifying personnel so that reasonable
arrangements for continuation of care can be made when continued nursing care is
required by the condition of the patient.
