Nurse Practitioner Malpractice

QUESTION

What is the probability that a family nurse practitioner will be sued for malpractice? Support your answer. Have you priced liability insurance for a family nurse practitioner? Why should you have your own liability insurance apart from what your employer provides? Have you identified any practices or incidences in your clinicals that are red flags for malpractice claims? (Examples must have NO identifying elements- just describe the situation in general terms). What should have been done/ could be done to prevent those situations?
