Reflections on being an expert witness.
1. Lawyers hire expert witnesses to give opinions as to whether the nursing care administered to the patient met the "acceptable standard of care." 2. The lawyer who offers testimony from a nurse expert must show that the witness is qualified to offer an opinion on the case being discussed. 3. Careful preparation for serving as a nurse expert witness includes reviewing the documentation of the case as well as published nursing standards.
