Answer to Question 1

Explanation: 1. The occurrence of a never event does not necessitate investigation by the Board of Nursing. These events are usually related to failure of a system, rather than individual failure.
2. There is no requirement to terminate the nurse's employment.
3. This is the Medicare rule. The cost of caring for the complication will not be covered.
4. The patient cannot be billed for this cost and Medicare will not cover the cost of this care. The cost must be absorbed by the healthcare organization.
