Abstrakt		The article deals with the relationship between deontological and legal norms in health care, followed by definitions of different kinds of liabilities in health care: professional, disciplinary, civil and criminal. Civil and criminal liability in Slovenian legal system are described. Liability is discussed within the framework of health care providers (nurses) whose work is related to the work of physicians (diagnosis and therapy), but on the other hand they have their own professional tasks and responsibilities (health care). Liability of health care providers is dealt with according to the rules provided for by the Statute on medicinal activity dealing with medical as well as health care fields of work. Civil liability for damages is dealt with on the basis of the provisions of the Statute on obligations and criminal liability takes into account norms of the Criminal Code. Liability occurs when the responsible person has with his/her actions or omissions caused damage or injury and his/her responsibility (intention or gross negligence) has been established by the court. In the final part, the author stressess the importance of the professional rules which can serve as a major preventive tool. Standards for particular procedures and catalogues of professional duties and obligaitons should be defined. In the author's opinion this can be the best form of protection against different forms of legal liablity.
Izvleček		Članek obravnava razmere med deontološkimi in pravnimi normami v zdravstveni negi ter opredeljuje različne vrste odgovornosti v zdravstveni negi: profesionalno, disciplinsko, odškodninsko in kazensko. Opisani sta odškodninska in kazenska odgovornost v slovenskem pravnem sistemu. Obravnavana je odgovornost medicinskih sester kot zdravstvenih delavk, katerih delo je povezano z delom zdravnika (diagnoza in terapija), na drugi strani pa imajo svoje lastne poklicne naloge in odgovornosti (zdravstvene nega). Odgovornost v zdravstveni negi je obravnavana v okviru določil Zakona o zdravstveni dejavnosti, ki zadeva tako medicino kakor zdravstveno nego. Odškodninska odgovornost je obravnavana na podlagi določil Zakona o obligacijskih razmerjih, kazenska odgovornost pa na podlagi določil Kazenskega zakonika. Do odgovornosti pride, kadar odgovorna oseba s svojimi dejanji ali pa z opustitvijo le-teh povzroči škodo ali poškodbo, njeno odgovornost (namen ali malomarnost) pa ugotovi sodišče. V sklepnem delu sestavka avtorica poudari pomembnost pravil, ki lahko služijo kot najpomembnejše preventivno sredstvo. Treba je določiti standarde za posamezne postopke in razvide poklicnih dolžnosti in obveznosti. Po avtoričinem mnenju je to najboljši način zaščite pred različnimi vrstami kazenske odgovornosti.
