2012-2013 NSO Risk Advisor


2012 Nurse Edition (320 KB)

Feature Article: Improving health literacy improves patient outcomes

Imagine telling a postoperative patient how to take his pain medication and sending him home only later to find out he ended up in the ED because he overdosed on the medication, taking six pills instead of two. His family wants to sue you and the hospital for not giving him the right instructions. You recall that after giving him his discharge instructions he shook his head indicating "no" when you asked, "Do you have any questions?" What happened?

2012 Advanced Practice Nurses Edition (310 KB)

Feature Article: Are you competent in cultural care?

A diverse group of people call the United States home, so advanced practice nurses (APNs) routinely encounter patients of different cultures in their practice. But how confident are you in your ability to meet varied cultural needs? Your competency is key, not just to achieve excellent patient outcomes, but also to protect yourself from possible litigation.
