The nurse is the health care personnel who is in direct touch with the patient for the longest amount of time while providing the health care service. Despite the fact that the legal liabilities of the physican has been a primary focus in the litterature, those of the nurse have not been adressed much. Many of the professional practices of the nurse are medical interventions effecting the phsysical integrity of the person. Therefore; these medical practices should be in compliance with the medical law. Medical errors made by the nurse (poor implementation of medical practice, professionnal errors, malpractice etc..) during the health care service might result in the fact that the nurse can pay a legal compensation, receive a disciplinary sanction or even be subject to an imprisonment. In this thesis, the legal nature of the relationship between the nurse and the patient and the grounds of legal liabilities of the nurse in case of damage to the patient incurring from the nursing practices are examined.
