Problem: You notice the doctor's writing on the medication order for digoxin to be messy. You correct the order, including the dosage. However, in your corrections you have inadvertently changed the measurement from mcg to mg. The patient is given what you have prescribed and as a result goes into a heart arrhythmia, bradycardia and requires emergency cardiac treatment. He dies two days later from heart failure. The family are now suing you. Has the nurse broken the law? What would they do if they were in the situation? Need Assignment Help?
