On February 4, 2021 a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNM and Anna Fronek of Surrey, BC, to remediate practice issues that occurred between May of 2019 and March of 2020 related to failing to adequately assess, document and escalate care for a deteriorating patient in a timely fashion, failing to follow an order to increase the amount of potassium in a patient's IV, failing to respond appropriately to a confused patient by yelling profanities in the patient's room, and practising outside of scope by administering a 500 ml bolus of normal saline without an order.
The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a condition on practice, including: a 2 week suspension, a reprimand for the conduct, a prohibition on being sole RN, RN in charge or providing supervision to students or others, limiting her practice to one unit and one employer for a period, remedial education, a regulatory practice consultation program, and to develop and complete a learning plan including obtaining written employer feedback at regular intervals.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
