I notify the MD and the nurse practitioner immediately if I find abnormal findings or values. I ensure to chart the education and the correction in response of the abnormal findings.

“To be Utah’s Finest Hospital” is the goal of St. Mark’s Hospital staff.

Nurses have a high level of responsibility when it comes to patient assessment, communication, accurate data collection and interpretation (Considine & Currey, 2014). The primary survey and collection of medical history require the nurse to have a patient-centred approach and apply communication strategies that aid accurate diagnosis. Assessment of a patient's airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure (ABCDE approach) make up the essential steps of the primary survey. This approach provides nurses with a consistent, evidence-based and sequenced approach; assisting the nurse to collect data per clinical importance (Considine & Currey, 2014).

“Medical malpractice claims and lawsuits deal with Improper, unskilled, or negligent treatment of a patient by a physician, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, or other health care professional. Negligence is the predominant theory of liability concerning allegations of medical malpractice, making this type of litigation part of Tort Law. Since the 1970s, medical malpractice has been a controversial social issue. Physicians have complained about the large number of malpractice suits and have urged legal reforms to curb large damage awards, whereas tort attorneys have argued that negligence suits are an effective way of compensating victims of negligence and of policing the medical profession. A person who alleges negligent medical malpractice must
I am working as a GP in a polyclinic situated in Jubail,KSA.Most of the patients attending here have a place with low financial status. I am discussing a case of cellulitis which fits the course of module and an incessant conference when all is said in done practice. I picked this case since cellulitis , as I would see it, shows a few difficulties as far as differential diagnosis and fitting treatment. My point in doing this contextual case study would be to basically assess my management of cellulitis and draw some learning focuses. The case is of cellulitis of the legs, which is the one we see all the more much of the time in primary care.
