The CRNA as an expert witness, By Gene A. Blumenreich, JD:"To function as a CRNA requires education, skills, and knowledge that most people do not have. Because courts, lawyers, and the public cannot understand what CRNAs do, the law puts them in the category of professionals. Professionals set their own standard of care. When courts need to know what the standard of care is, they get expert testimony. Testimony on the standard of care may arise not only in malpractice actions, but may occur in other contexts as well. For example, in disciplinary proceedings the conduct of a CRNA may be questioned and expert testimony will be necessary. Are there limits of a CRNA's expert testimony or the subject areas in which CRNAs may provide expert testimony?" ****************************************************** ****************************************************** Please select from the following:

Do nurse anesthetists demonstrate gender bias in treating pain? AANA J. 2003 June;71(3);206-9:"A major responsibility of the nurse anesthetist is providing adequate pain relief. Current research suggests that provider gender, as well as patient gender, may affect the clinical assessment and treatment of pain. Implications of the undertreatment of pain may be avoided if the anesthetist is aware of potential gender bias when approaching a given clinical situation." ****************************************************** National Nursing Organizations
