Answer to Question 1

Nurses spend approximately 19 of their time in patient care, 7 with assessments, 17 man-aging medications, 20 coordinating care, and 35 documenting patient information in EHRs (Burnes-Bolton, 2009).

Answer to Question 2

A
Maleficence is doing harm to the patient whether it is intentional or unintentional, such as an omission. If the nurse is intoxicated, she may fail to meet the standard of care.
