Abstract


Today's practicing nurse must be aware of nursing standards, legal issues in nursing, legal limits of nursing and legal liabilities. Otherwise, he or she could be the first person to be penalized from a legal standpoint. Legal responsibilities in nursing practice are growing in importance day by day. Legal accountability is an essential concept of professional nursing practice that can pose a threat to a nurse's career if he or she is uninformed of the law. Legal issues confronting practicing nurses today are legion. The nurse need not view the law not with apprehension but as a helpful adjunct to the practice of nursing.
