Professional associations do not recommend that health care workers carry professional liability insurance

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.


ANS: F
Most facilities carry insurance that covers incidents that result in harm to a patient when policies and procedures are followed; however, they may not cover the employee who fails to follow the established protocol. Carrying personal liability insurance protects against a possible discrepancy with the facility's insurance coverage and provides the employee with the opportunity for representation by a personal attorney.
