No, because we don’t live in a world where only one person has to be responsible for every outcome.
Multiple people can share responsibility (and legal liability) for an outcome. In this case, the NP may bear some responsibility for the reasons you outlined. In fact the NP and her organization were sued and settled out of court already:
> At some point prior to that date, Justin Warren “sued Essentia Health for the alleged malpractice of its employees, Simon and Baldwin.” (p. 6) That case was settled out of court.
So, the NP may bear some responsibility, but there’s no reason why that should be the end of the investigation as to who else may bear some responsibility.
