Answer to Question 1

C
The reasonable person standard is used by courts of law when dealing with cases of potential negligence and malpractice to show what a reasonable person (nurse) would do in a given situation. Reviewing the organization's policies and procedures, evidence from the states' Nurse Practice Act, and the use of expert witnesses to the standard of nursing practice in that community are all examples of the reasonable person standard.

Answer to Question 2

C
Consent must always be obtained for any photographs, use of statements made by patients, or disclosure of confidential information about a patient. To not obtain consent under these situations is considered to be an invasion of privacy. Assault deals with the threat to touch another person against his will. Battery is the actual act of touching or treating another person against his will. Defamation (including libel and slander) is concerned with intentionally giving false information that may cause the loss of a person's reputation.
