Ms. Newblack Case Study - Nursing Assignment Help

Assignment Task

The South Australian Health Practitioners Tribunal has suspended former Flinders Medical Centre (FMC) emergency department clinical nurse.
Ms Newblack, a registered nurse with a previously unblemished record in 23 years of work, had been dealing with a family crisis and agreed to look after the patients of another nurse, who was going on a tea break.
One of her new tasks was to administer morphine to the patient, referred to as "BZ", in cubicle 33. The drug was handed to Ms Newblack in a kidney dish.
Ms Newblack went alone into cubicle 36 and not cubicle 33. She went into the cubicle alone and administered the morphine to the patient as directed by the nurse going on break.

When the other nurse returned from her tea break, she realised Ms Newblack was in the process of administering the drug to the wrong person.
Ms Newblack inveigled the registered nurse and the enrolled nurse on duty at the time not to report the incident.
"Initially, the enrolled nurse agreed to do this but then thought better of it and notified her supervisors which led to the Flinders Medical Centre carrying out their internal investigation."

Patient BZ was never told of the morphine mix-up.
Ms Newblack was registered as a nurse in 1995 and started working at SA Health in the Repatriation General Hospital in the acute referral unit before moving to the FMC emergency department as a clinical nurse.
The tribunal noted that Ms Newblack had a previous unblemished record, felt "deeply remorseful for the choices she made" and since the incident, had engaged in extensive education.
You are required to examine the key legal, ethical and socio-political aspects of one of the case studies, taking into account the scope of practice of the registered nurse and consideration of safety and quality in medication management practices via national standards.
