Discussion 
A patient is recovering from surgery in the hospital. The doctor has prescribed a blood thinner for the patient after surgery to reduce the possibility of blood clots. The nurse reads the orders and goes to the pharmacy to fill the order. The pharmacy reads the order and fills it with the brand and dosage of blood thinner. The nurse administers it to the patient as required.
 
What has happened, however, is that the pharmacist grabbed an almost identically labeled bottle of the drug. The bottle he dispensed was a higher concentration of the same drug. The only difference on the bottle is the tiny percentage number in the bottom left hand corner; otherwise, the bottles are identical. The patient receives the wrong dose and subsequently dies.
 
Do you believe that the pharmacist should be charged with criminal negligence? Why, or why not?

Assignment Instructions
For this assignment, you will be creating three scenarios of your own that are similar to the ones discussed in the unit lesson. These scenarios can be made up, real stories, or a combination of the two. Each scenario should consist of at least 200 words and should properly reflect the material discussed within this unit.

Your first scenario should apply the elements of negligence and professional negligence (malpractice) to a patient claim against a healthcare provider. In other words, your scenario should describe a situation in which a healthcare provider was negligent or committed malpractice against a patient. Be sure to properly detail the event and how it was resolved.
Your second scenario should describe an intentional tort that was committed within the healthcare environment. Also, the scenario should explain a legal remedy that the victim of the intentional tort could pursue.
Your third scenario should describe an instance in which a patient’s rights may have been violated by a healthcare provider. Also, the scenario should explain the responsibility that healthcare providers have to protect their patients from harm.

Please include all three scenarios within one document
