Problem 1: Prior to this case, injuries and litigation matters from medication errors were handled in the Civil Courts sectors - RaDonda' s case is a precedent in which a medication error was handled in the Criminal Court Sector. Will nurses be less likely to report a medication error because of fear of losing their job or license?
Problem 2: Were RaDonda' s actions the type of actions you would expect a reasonable and prudent nurse under the same circumstances? Can you argue that her actions were criminally motivated?
Problem 3: RaDonda graduated nursing school in February of 2015, the incident occurred in October 2017 - did her inexperience contribute to her medication error?
