Answer to Question 1

B, D, E, F
Health care organizations can be found liable for actions other than those provided by nurses and other health care professionals. Some of these noted in the Professional Negligence Law Reporter from July 2001 to July 2002 include: 1) failure to adequately train personnel in fall prevention (not failure to train patients); 2) failure to provide a safe environment; 3) failure to provide timely lab services; 4) failure to instruct and train personnel regarding the handling of jaundice in newborns; 5) allowing unlicensed persons to administer IV medications; and 6) failure to enforce policies to adequately handle emergencies.

Answer to Question 2

A
It is appropriate for the new graduate to ask about the length of the orientation program. It would not
be appropriate to ask about pay for orientation, grading of performance or whether the graduate should
attend all sessions. Hospitals invest a great deal of funds in orientating new employees and it is
expected that they will participate in the orientation fully.
