論消費者保護法於護理行為之適用

Discussing the Application of the Consumer Protection Act to Nursing Activities

護理人員於醫療機構執行業務致生損害於病人，依醫療法第八十二條第二項規定，乃負故意或過失責任，並無消費者保護法無過失責任之適用，惟從司法判決以觀，護理人員於護理機構執行業務致生損害於病人，卻有消費者保護法無過失責任之適用。醫療機構執業之護理人員與護理機構之護理人員，二者業務範圍相同，然而一部消費者保護法僅因護理人員執行業務場所不同而割裂適用，非無探究之餘地，本文欲從消費者保護法所規範之「企業經營者、服務、消費者、消費行為」等概念、危險責任原理、消費者保護法之立法目的，探究護理行為適用消費者保護法無過失責任之妥適性，並對此提出建言。

According to the Paragraph 2 of Article 82 of Medical Care Act, the fault liability, but not strict liability regulated by the Consumer Protection Act, applies to hospitals nurses who harm the patients. However, strict liability regulated by the Consumer Protection Act applies to nursing home nurses who harm the patients. The Scope of practice for hospital nurses and nursing home nurses are the same. However, the Consumer Protection Act applies to nursing home nurse but not hospital nurses, and this is unreasonable and requires further discussion. This article intends to discuss whether the strict liability regulated by the Consumer Protection Act applies to nursing home nurses is appropriate, based on the definition of traders, service, consumer, and consuming behavior, as well as from the aspects of risk liability and the purpose of Consumer Protection Act. Finally, the article would make suggestions for the question discussed above.
