This is an example of the professional standard of care. Professionals are judged based on the standard of care that others in their profession would provide in the same situation. If an error in judgment is made but it was within the standard of care, Araceli may not be held liable. However, if another professional in her position would not have acted similarly, she may be held liable for negligence. Options A, B, C, and D are incorrect because compliance with professional standards, lack of realization of carelessness, poor training or incompetence, and failing to investigate Araceli's competence do not necessarily exclude her from being held liable for negligence.
