Answer to Question 1
B
Even though it was an inadvertent act in this situation, failure to maintain patient confidentiality and privacy are applicable to patient records. By not closing the patient electronic medical record, the nurse made it available to someone not directly involved with the patient's care. Family and friends do not have the right to have access to the patient's chart by virtue of their relationship to the patient. Educating the patient or visitor or the lack to do so have nothing to do with this item. There was no negligence in care to the patient by the nurse in this situation.
Answer to Question 2
C
Slander is a spoken form of defamation of character. To establish slander, the comments regarding the person have to be false, communicated or overheard by a third party, and defame the nurse's character. This conversation should occur in a private location; thus, it is not collaboration. Libel is the written form of defamation of character. Assault and battery refers to placing the patient in fear of being harmed and following through with unwelcomed touching.
