Your nurse manager has asked you to identify some key points from best practices in guarding against malpractice and to develop a small reminder resource for the staff nurses. The resource could be designed to attach to the back of a name badge or put into a small notebook that reminds them of the key steps for best practice and the standards of care for legal responsibility and malpractice.

Instructions

Create a legal resource for nursing staff that:

· Examines the definition of standards of care and scope of practice within the state of North Dakota .

· Determines the essential elements of nursing malpractice.

· Appraises best practices for legal compliance.

· Provides stated ideas with professional language and attribution for credible sources with correct APA citation, spelling, and grammar in the legal resource.
