Answer to Question 1
3. Purchasing liability insurance.
Rationale:
A large part of risk management is entails reducing cost related to lawsuits. The nurse is best protected by purchasing personal liability insurance. Risk management also entails analyzing errors to determine causes and changing policy to reduce more errors. Nurses should report all errors in an effort to assist in the campaign to reduce medical errors.

A fluid volume deficit would not occur with the administration of intravenous fluids. Liver failure is not anticipated related to postoperative intravenous fluid administration. Seizure activity would more commonly be associated with electrolyte imbalances.
