Title: The nurse in the emergency department administers an adult dose of an antibiotic to a 3-month-old ba Post by: BreakFree on Feb 7, 2015 The nurse in the emergency department administers an adult dose of an antibiotic to a 3-month-old baby. As a result, the baby suffers permanent brain damage. What are the likely ramifications of this error?
1. The reputation of the healthcare facility will suffer 2. The healthcare facility may pay high legal fees and a large settlement. 3. The morale of the staff will be adversely affected. 4. The nurse will lose the professional license to practice and can never practice again. 5. The healthcare facility will lose its accreditation and may be closed.
