Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The standard of practice for the SP/VN is that of the LPN/LVN. Beginning practitioners are not held to a lesser standard. SP/VNs are not held to the same level of performance as nursing assistants. Holding the student practical/vocational nurse to the level of performance described in the outline/syllabus of he course in which the student is enrolled may not correspond to the Nurse Practice Act (although it should). The instructor would be held to the standard for RNs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An intentional tort, libel is defined as defamation through written communication or pictures. Giving the history and showing the photograph could damage the reputation of the physician husband. Battery refers to doing bodily harm to the patient. Malpractice and negligence are unintentional torts.
