Abstract:
In today s litigious climate, it is important for nurses to understand what constitutes malpractice. This knowledge can help them avoid a lawsuit, a process that can be physically, emotionally, and financially draining. It can also guide their practice so that they provide better care for their clients. The elements of malpractice can be taught through the use of a mock trial. A mock trial can be incorporated into any nursing class and is a valuable educational tool in helping students understand both the legal system and how their practice is viewed. The nurse attorney author discusses a mock trial scenario that can be used to impart information and teach the critical thinking skills necessary for successful nursing practice.
