In the following situation, determine if there are the necessary elements that could bring about a claim of malpractice. The LPN is working in a long-term care facility and is responsible for administering medications to 20 residents. One of the clients has a new order for a heart medication that the LPN is familiar with. She thinks it may be a higher dose than usually ordered, but does not have time to look it up and decides to give it, because the physician who ordered it is reliable. Later that day the client’s blood pressure and pulse fall, and the client becomes unresponsive. The client is transferred to the hospital and is hospitalized for several days. It is later determined that the medication was transcribed incorrectly, and the client received twice the normal dose. The family is very unhappy and hires a lawyer.
