It has taken many years for RNs to achieve recognition as healthcare professionals possessing the exceptional skill and knowledge necessary to provide high-quality care. RNs need to be aware that the care they give and the documentation of that care may be reviewed by others from a legal perspective, and protect themselves accordingly by being as accurate and attentive as possible throughout each and every shift.1 Exposure to malpractice liability is an unfortunate consequence of modern-day nursing practice.
