Because their mistakes are serious and in most cases irreparable. Therefore, in order to prevent these injuries, the legislator has given strict attention to the mistakes of medical staff, including doctors and nurses, and has determined penalties for them. The purpose of this descriptive and analytical study is to examine the nurse's liability for damages caused to the patient in carrying out the nurse's orders, taking into account the Islamic Penal Code, amended in 2013. The results showed that the civil liability of nurses, like other types of professional responsibilities, is realized by the combination of their specific conditions. To fulfill this responsibility, it is necessary to prove that the nurse had a duty of care towards the patient, but by failing to provide the necessary care, she violated this duty and caused harm to the patient. In other words, it must be proven that the injuries caused to the patient were the result of the nurse's failure to perform her duties. Also, in the liability arising from the actions of nurses, there are cases where the doctor or hospital, as the employer of the nurse, is responsible for the actions of the nurses, and that is when the nurse performs his/her duties under the direct command and supervision of the doctor or hospital. On the other hand, some of the actions of nurses, although they are harmful and cause harm to others, do not give rise to liability in terms of the law or the nature of the act performed, and the nurse is not required to compensate for the damage caused. Therefore, the nature of each claim and its specific facts determine the actual responsible party and the extent of liability.
