A nurse is preparing an in-service for a group of nurses about malpractice issues in nursing. Which of the following examples should the nurse include in the teaching as an example of malpractice?

Administering potassium via IV bolus is a serious medication error that constitutes malpractice. Potassium must always be administered diluted and via controlled IV infusion — never as a bolus. An IV potassium bolus can cause fatal cardiac arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation). This is a well-known nursing standard of care violation. Documenting provider communication is appropriate practice. Clamping an NG tube after meds is correct technique. Yellow fall-risk bracelets are a safety standard.
