On March 22, 2024, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Chrysta Deaton of Prince George to address practice issues that occurred in December 2022 while working in long-term care related to her failure to adhere to professional and practice nursing standards that included: failure to consult a resident's care plan prior to the provision of care, directing nursing students to conceal a known error made during the provision of care, failure to document correctly, and failure to report an error that prevented the resident's timely access to treatment and continuity of care.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
A public reprimand and suspension of their nursing registration for five days;
Indirect supervision of their nursing practice for three months;
A limit prohibiting them from working any shifts other than day and evening shifts, having regulatory oversight of students, and from providing mentorship or orientation to staff;
Remedial education in professional responsibility and accountability, and ethics.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
