Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The best defense against a lawsuit is to provide compassionate and competent nursing care. Carrying malpractice insurance is prudent, but it will not avoid a lawsuit. Spending time with patients and answering call lights quickly will not necessarily help avoid a lawsuit.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Case management is a cost-effective method of care. Focused nursing, team nursing, and primary nursing are not cost-effective methods of delivering care that allow the LPN/LVN to work with the RN to meet patient needs.
