The state regulatory agency may impose a fine on a hospital for which patient
Safety infraction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physical abuse of a patient by staff is a severe patient safety infraction that would warrant a fine by the state regulatory agency. Other options such as not reporting a patient's change in condition, not documenting pain management, or not feeding a confused patient may also result in consequences, but are less severe and may not necessarily result in a fine.
