Question 1:

An older adult client falls and fractures her hip while a nurse is assisting her to the bathroom.
The client sues the nurse for negligence.
The nurse should identify which of the following principles as the standard that will legally determine her liability for the client's injury?

A. The client's provider testifies that the client's condition required a different method of moving her. B. Another staff nurse describes how a reasonably prudent nurse would have performed under the same circumstances. C. An expert nurse describes how the nurse could have handled the same situation differently. D. The plaintiff's attorney states that the nurse could have prevented the client's injury.

Answer and Explanation

Choice A:

The client’s provider’s testimony about the client’s condition requiring a different method of moving her is relevant but does not legally determine the nurse’s liability.

Choice B:

The standard that will legally determine the nurse’s liability is how a reasonably prudent nurse would have performed under the same circumstances. This is the principle of reasonable care, which is used in negligence cases.

Choice C:

While an expert nurse’s description of how the situation could have been handled differently is informative, it does not legally determine the nurse’s liability.

Choice D:

The plaintiff’s attorney’s statement that the nurse could have prevented the client’s injury is an assertion, not a legal standard for determining liability.
