Answer to Question 1

D
Information in the home care medical record includes patient assessment, referral and intake forms, interprofessional plan of care, a list of medications, and reports to third party payers. An interprofessional plan of care is used rather than a nursing process form. A step-by-step skills manual and a list of possible procedures are not included in the record.

Answer to Question 2

B
Battery is any intentional touching without consent. An example of battery is a nurse giving any medication that the client has refused to take.
Assault is any intentional threat to make harmful or offensive contact. No actual contact needs to have occurred.
Invasion of privacy occurs when the client experiences any unwanted intrusion into his or her private affairs. This incident is not an example of invasion of privacy.
Malpractice is the tort of negligence committed by a professional such as a nurse or physician. This incident is not an example of malpractice.
