Abstract:
Did you know that a nurse may be held to the same standard of care as a physician? In a 1989 Indiana case, Planned Parenthood of Northwest Indiana, Inc. v. Vines 543 N.E. 2d 654 (Ind. App. 3 Dist. 1989), a patient and her husband sued a clinic and a nurse for negligence in the insertion of an intrauterine device. The Indiana Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's finding that the nurse-practitioner be held to the standard of care of a physician in performing this procedure.
