B. Negligence refers to the failure to exercise reasonable care that results in harm to another person. It occurs when a healthcare provider fails to perform their duties according to the standard of care expected in their profession, leading to injury or harm to the patient. In the scenario described, the failure to follow orders for turning and positioning, resulting in pressure injuries, is an example of negligence. Negligence can result from actions (acts of commission) or omissions (acts of omission).
A. Battery refers to the intentional harmful or offensive touching of another person without their consent. In healthcare, battery may occur if a medical procedure is performed on a patient without their informed consent or if a procedure goes beyond the scope of what was consented to. In the context of the scenario provided, the development of pressure injuries due to inadequate turning and positioning is not an example of battery because it does not involve intentional harm.

C. Assault refers to the intentional threat of harm or the creation of fear of imminent harm in another person. In healthcare, assault may occur if a healthcare provider threatens a patient with harm or performs a procedure without their consent, creating fear or apprehension in the patient. In the context of the scenario provided, the development of pressure injuries due to inadequate turning and positioning is not an example of assault because it does not involve intentional threats or actions creating fear in the patient.
D. A felony is a serious criminal offense punishable by imprisonment or death. It typically involves actions that are considered extremely harmful or dangerous to society. The scenario described does not involve actions that rise to the level of a felony offense.

A. Infiltration occurs when the intravenous solution leaks into the surrounding tissue instead of flowing into the vein. This can cause discomfort, swelling, and potential tissue damage. Stopping the infusion immediately helps prevent further infiltration and minimizes the risk of complications such as tissue necrosis or damage.
B. While documenting the findings is important for the client's medical record, it is not the first action to take when suspecting infiltration. Immediate intervention to stop the infusion and assess the site for complications takes precedence over documentation.
C. Flushing the catheter with normal saline may be necessary after stopping the infusion to ensure patency and clear any remaining solution from the catheter. However, this step should follow the immediate cessation of the infusion to prevent further infiltration.
D. Removing the catheter may be necessary if significant infiltration has occurred or if there are signs of tissue damage. However, this should be done after stopping the infusion to prevent further infiltration and should be based on the assessment findings and healthcare provider's instructions.
