Rationale 1: Contradictions in the medical record may indicate that the record is not accurate. This creates an ethical dilemma for the expert witness.
Rationale 2: Time lapses in the medical record documentation may indicate that not all of the events that occurred were recorded. This would create an ethical dilemma for the expert witness.
Rationale 3: When the standards of care were met, but were minimal, and could have been more effective, a dilemma exists. Should the nurse report the standards as met or should the nurse explain that additional interventions could have been implemented?
Rationale 4: Just because the outcomes were unexpected does not create an ethical dilemma.
Rationale 5: The department where the nurses generally work should not create an ethical dilemma.
