Workplace Liability and Malpractice

Question 3 • TX-Health Science

Which of the following are examples of negligence in the healthcare workplace? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
forgetting to ask a young patient if he would like a sticker
B
documenting information poorly in a patient's chart
C
forgetting to give a patient her medicine
D
communicating poorly with a patient's relative

Explanation

Negligence is failing to provide the level of care a healthcare worker is expected to give, in a way that can harm a patient. Poor chart documentation and forgetting to give a patient prescribed medicine can both compromise patient care. Forgetting to offer a sticker is not a care duty, and poor communication with a relative alone is not necessarily negligence toward the patient.
