A patient is ready for discharge when she spikes a fever of
101.3°F. A call to the physician results in an order for IV
antibiotics to be administered every 12 hours for 48 hours. The
patient’s family arrives to take her home, and they discover that
she now has an IV and will not be discharged for 2 days. They ask,
“What happened? Did our mother catch something in the hospital? We
thought this is a place of healing.” How will you respond? Your
response may have legal implications.
