legal requirements for nursing practice that describe minimum acceptable nursing care

-American Nurses Association (ANA) (2010) develops standards for nursing practice, policy statements, and similar resolutions. These standards outline the scope, function, and role of the nurse in practice.

•In a malpractice lawsuit, a nurse's actual conduct is compared to nursing standards of care to determine whether the nurse acted as any reasonably prudent nurse would act under the same or similar circumstances.

-The Joint Commission (TJC) (2014) requires accredited hospitals to have written nursing policies and procedures.

•In a lawsuit for malpractice or negligence, a nursing expert may testify to the jury about the standards of nursing care as applied to the facts of the case. Nurse experts base their opinions on existing standards of practice established by Nurse Practice Acts, federal and state hospital licensing laws, TJC standards, professional organizations, institutional policies and procedures, job descriptions, and current nursing evidence-based literature.
