The B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives has reprimanded a Prince George nurse for a July 2020 incident.
According to the college, LPN Pamela Davis touched a patient's open skin lesion or rash with an ungloved hand, then touched the exposed skin on the face of a care aide and the clothing on the care aide's shoulder using the same soiled hand.
Davis voluntarily agreed to a public reprimand and not to repeat the conduct at issue. She also agreed to take part a practice consultation to specifically work through the issues related to the incident, and complete coursework related to the professional practice issues, the college reported on its website.
