Unintentional Torts - ANSWER: Negligence and malpractice
Negligence - ANSWER: performing an act that a reasonable and prudent person
would not perform. The measure of negligence is "reasonableness" (i.e., would a
reasonable and prudent nurse act in the same manner under the same
circumstances?)
Malpractice - ANSWER: negligence by professional personnel (e.g., professional
misconduct or unreasonable lack of skill in carrying out professional duties)
Four elements necessary to prove negligence or malpractice - ANSWER: duty, breach
of duty, injury/damages, causation
Duty - ANSWER: Obligation to use due care (what a reasonable, prudent nurse would
do); failure to care for and/or to protect others against unreasonable risk. The nurse
must anticipate foreseeable risks. Example: If a floor has water on it, the nurse is
responsible for anticipating the risk for a client's falling.
Breach of duty - ANSWER: failure to perform according to the established standard
of conduct in providing nursing care
, Injury/damages - ANSWER: failure to meet standard of care, which causes actual
injury or damage to the client, either physical or mental.

referred to as "proximate cause" or "remoteness of damage"
Hospital policies - ANSWER: provide a guide for nursing actions. They are not laws,
but courts generally rule against nurses who have violated the employer's policies.
Hospital can be liable for poorly formulated or poorly implemented policies

need for investigation; they do not protect against legal action being taken for
negligence or malpractice
Examples of negligence or malpractice - ANSWER: 1. Burning a client with a heating
pad. 2. Leaving sponges or instruments in a client's body after surgery. 3. Performing
