Tennessee nurse assigned to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center RaDonda Vaught has been charged with reckless homicide after administering a lethal sedative to her now deceased patient Charlene Murphy.

At the time of the incident in December 2017, Murphy, 75 was being treated for bleeding on the brain and was scheduled for a PET scan to ascertain its severity.

Murphey, however, expressed her fear of being in constricted areas and requested a sedative to alleviate her growing anxiety.

A recommendation of Midazolam, which is commonly used to relax patients before procedures, was requested.

Vaught did not find the drug in an automatic dispensing cabinet and used an override mechanism to type in “VE”.

Vaught also picked the first drug that came up — vecuronium, a powerful relaxant that works by blocking the signals between nerves and muscles.

Subsequently, Murphey was found unresponsive, the drug had stopped her breathing. Emergency measures failed to get her breathing on her own, and she died after being removed from life support.

Meanwhile, documents filed by prosecutors allege Vaught made 10 separate errors, including overlooking multiple warning signs she had the wrong medication.

Court records also stated that Vaught would have had to look directly at a label reading “WARNING: PARALYZING AGENT” before injecting the drug.
