Vicarious liability.

"Vicarious liability" or "imputed negligence" is a doctrine that shifts legal responsibility from one individual to another so that, under the appropriate circumstances, an optometrist may be held responsible for the negligent conduct of agents, employees, partners, and others with whom the optometrist has created the necessary legal relationship. The application of vicarious liability to clinical practice is discussed, with emphasis upon relationships with other professionals, delegation of duties to employees, and referrals to other health care providers.

Working relationship between dentists and dental hygienists: their perceptions.

The purpose of this study was to reexamine the working relationship between the dentist and the dental hygienist with regard to delegation and professional interaction. A questionnaire was mailed to Michigan dentists and dental hygienists to acquire data regarding dental hygiene practice, office procedures, and employer/employee interaction. Of the 500 dentists surveyed, 289 (58%) returned questionnaires, and of the 360 hygienists surveyed, 298 (83%) returned questionnaires. The dental hygienists' perception of their practice is significantly different from the dentists' in several major areas. More than half of the dentists reported checking the hygienist's work all of the time, whereas only one third of the hygienists reported always being checked. Assessment of patient needs by a clinical caries examination is perceived differently. Most of the hygienists reported they perform clinical caries examinations all of the time, whereas only two thirds of the dentists reported the hygienist always performs an examination. Delegation of auxiliary procedures is viewed similarly by both dentists and hygienists, but procedures which can be performed are not being delegated. With respect to professional communications, half of the dentists perceive that they provide feedback to the hygienist all of the time, while only one third of the hygienists feel they receive feedback all of the time. In determining the recall interval, most of the dentists reported establishing it in consultation with the hygienist, whereas half of the hygienists reported setting it alone. Data suggest that the dentists' perceptions are inconsistent with the hygienists' in role delineation and patient care.

[Applying situational leadership in emergency nursing].

This study aimed to identify the correspondence of opinions between nurses and nursing staff members who work at the emergency unit regarding the leadership style performed by nurses and the style nurses must adopt considering the maturity level of nursing staff members and the care provided at the unit. Situational Leadership was adopted as a theoretical reference framework. In order to achieve these goals, instruments were elaborated and applied to 24 research participants. Results demonstrated that the leadership style nurses most frequently perform was E3 (participating), and that nurses should adopt leadership style E4 (delegating) in view of the nursing staff's level of maturity, suggesting that staff members present a high level of maturity (M4).
