What Do Home Nurses Do?

A “home nurse” refers to a licensed nurse, such as a licensed practical nurse, registered nurse, or advanced practice registered nurse who provides skilled care for a patient in the patient’s home. Home nurses provide home health care services to patients, although home health care can also include physical/occupational/speech therapy. Home nurses and therapists provide much of the same care that a patient would otherwise receive in a hospital or other healthcare facility. Home health care may involve:

• Monitoring and recording of vital signs
• Administration of medication
• Setting up or maintaining medical equipment, such as IVs or ventilators
• Assisting patients with basic needs like feeding, bathing, or getting around the house
• Performing treatments or providing instructions to manage conditions, such as physical/occupational therapy exercises

What Is Home Nurse Malpractice?

Home health care negligence may involve various types of errors or mistakes by home nurses or therapists who treat patients in the home. Examples of home nurse malpractice may include:

• Failing to monitor patients’ conditions or report changes to patients’ primary care physicians
• Medication errors, including missing doses or administering the wrong medication
• Injuring patients during treatments or procedures, such as drawing blood or inserting IVs
• Failing to maintain breathing or feeding tubes
• Failing to change wound dressings
• Failing to help patients with basic needs

How Do You Prove That You’ve Suffered Home Health Care Negligence?

Proving that you’ve been harmed by negligent care from a home nurse or therapist will require various types of evidence to explain what treatment decisions or actions were made in your case. Examples of evidence you might use in a home health care negligence case include your medical records, progress/treatment notes, staffing records, or witness testimony. You will also likely need expert testimony to prove your case. This testimony must come from a healthcare professional with the same or similar licensing or certifications as the provider at fault for your injuries. Your expert must explain what the applicable standard of care was in your case, how your provider’s conduct failed to meet the standard, and how that substandard care caused your injuries.
