Resumen
Los obstetras en el Reino Unido usan pruebas de bienestar fetal y materno, incluso inexactas, por temor a reclamos de negligencia médica y litigios. Esta práctica médica defensiva tiene un impacto en las decisiones de atención al paciente.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Obstetricia y Ginecología.
- Derecho médico Derecho médico.
- Práctica clínica La práctica clínica es la práctica clínica.
Sus antecedentes:
- Aumento de las demandas por negligencia médica en el Reino Unido.
- Preocupaciones con respecto a las prácticas médicas defensivas entre los obstetras y ginecólogos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar las actitudes de los obstetras hacia las pruebas de bienestar fetal y materno.
- Comprender la influencia de estas pruebas en las decisiones de atención al paciente.
Principales métodos:
- Encuesta a 3194 becarios y miembros del Real Colegio de Obstetras y Ginecólogos.
- Evaluó la precisión percibida de varias pruebas de bienestar fetal y materno.
- Razones exploradas para la utilización del ensayo.
Principales resultados:
- La precisión percibida de la prueba varió ampliamente (la toma de muestras de sangre fetal 86,3% a las pruebas bioquímicas 25,9%).
- Las pruebas con una precisión percibida pobre todavía eran ampliamente utilizadas.
- Razones principales citadas: ayuda al juicio clínico y necesidad médico-legal.
Conclusiones:
- Las pruebas inexactas se utilizan en la práctica clínica debido al temor a litigios.
- La práctica médica defensiva es evidente en la atención obstétrica y ginecológica.
- Los hallazgos fueron consistentes en diferentes grupos demográficos y lugares de práctica.

CRISPR
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short...
The Stanford Prison Experiment
The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.
Obedience
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...
Standard Precaution
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Torts I
Torts in nursing are wrongful acts that can harm patients and potentially lead to civil liability for the involved nurse. These wrongful acts range from unintentional errors to deliberate actions. Depending on the nature and severity of the tort, a nurse found liable may face financial penalties or disciplinary actions. Understanding the distinctions between intentional, quasi-intentional, and unintentional torts is crucial for nurses to mitigate risks and provide safe patient care.

Types of Quasi-intentional Torts in Healthcare
Quasi-intentional torts in healthcare involve acts where intent is not directed to harm an individual but results in harm due to careless or reckless speech.
