For a Nurse to Be Charged with Malpractice in a Malpractice

For a nurse to be charged with malpractice in a malpractice lawsuit, four legal elements must be present. Three of these are the duty the nurse owes to the client, a breach of that duty, and the breach of duty being the cause of damage. The fourth element that must be present is:

A) The nurse caused more than 50% of the damage.
B) The hospital policies did not support the nurse's actions.
C) There was actual damage to the client.
D) Damage in this case was permanent and irreversible.
