- Nurses are obligated both ethically and legally to report abuse (physical,
verbal,sexual, and emotional attack; neglect; and abandonment).
- In many states, the failure to report actual or suspected abuse is a crime
in itself.
- Nurses are protected by law from law suits by alleged abusers if the
report found to be false as long as it was filed in good faith.
- The nurse is responsible for knowing what needs to be reported in the
local area and to what authority.
