Civil Wrong:Nursing Malpractice
You are working on a medical unit of a hospital. At lunch a nurse mentions that one of her patients, Mrs. Fraser, was constantly asking for pain medication. The nurse reports that she took care of the problem by setting up a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) system for Mrs. Fraser, but did not tell her what she was doing so she could not object. Has this nurse committed a civil wrong? If so, what kind?.
