Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should notify their employer immediately upon being served with a summons relating to the care of a patient. This allows the employer to provide support and assistance to the nurse, as well as potentially involving legal counsel in their defense. It is also important to not acknowledge liability or answer the summons without first seeking legal advice.
