Focused Case Types

A Nursing Perspective on Complex Clinical Cases

In birth-injury and neonatal litigation, nursing records clarify observations, interventions, communication, and transitions to intensive care. Theresa focuses on newborn nursing and prolonged NICU hospitalizations, identifying questions requiring additional qualified specialists.

Focus 01

Birth Injury & Newborn Transition

Review of newborn care records from high-risk delivery through stabilization and NICU admission, including neonatal team communication and documented interventions. Maternal labor-and-delivery assessments and interventions remain within the L&D nursing specialty.

  • Delivery-to-NICU timelines
  • Resuscitation and stabilization documentation
  • Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy records
  • Documentation of neonatal neurologic concerns
Focus 02

NICU & Neonatal Care

Focused review of nursing assessments, monitoring, interventions, escalation, and coordination within neonatal intensive care.

  • Changes in condition and escalation of care
  • Medication administration and monitoring
  • Respiratory support and care coordination
  • Sepsis evaluation and documentation
Focus 03

Extended NICU & Early Childhood Care

Focused review of nursing documentation during prolonged NICU stays. Some infants require intensive care well beyond the newborn period; in select complex cases, care may extend into the second year of life. Her nursing specialty remains NICU care rather than general pediatric or adolescent nursing.

  • Longitudinal nursing assessments and condition changes
  • Complex feeding, respiratory, and medication support
  • Care transitions and interdisciplinary communication
  • Developmental care and family-support documentation
Important distinction: Every case requires an individualized review. Theresa’s work addresses nursing practice and nursing standards of care—not medical diagnosis or physician practice. A case category does not establish negligence, and counsel and appropriately qualified experts make their own determinations.
