Defending Against Medication Error Allegations in Kansas
Medication errors are among the most frequent reasons Kansas nurses face investigation. Even one mistake—wrong dose, wrong patient, or failure to chart—can lead to a complaint under K.S.A. 65-1120(a).
When a report is filed, KSBN reviews records, medication logs, and employer statements. They evaluate whether you acted negligently or failed to follow established protocols. If the Board determines that your conduct endangered patient safety, penalties can include probation, suspension, or revocation.
A defense attorney can present mitigating factors, such as heavy workloads, unclear orders, or malfunctioning technology. Often, systemic hospital issues—not individual negligence—contribute to mistakes.
