Answer to Question 1
D
Negligence is the failure to act as a reasonably prudent person would act under the same circumstances. All people, regardless of educational preparation, are responsible for conducting themselves in a reasonable and prudent manner; when they fail to do so and another person is harmed, they are considered to be negligent. Negligent acts by a professional person in the course of performing job responsibilities result in malpractice; thus malpractice is considered to be professional negligence. When a nurse fails to meet the standard of care in a client care situation, the nurse is not acting as a reasonable, prudent person would (either by omission or by commission) and can be charged with malpractice.
Answer to Question 2

The purpose of assessment is to establish a database about a client. Data about a client's physical, psychological, and emotional health are necessary to identify the client's health-promoting behavior and actual or potential health problems. To obtain these data, a nurse determines such things as the client's functional abilities, the normal activities of daily living, and lifestyle patterns. From these data, the nurse can identify client strengths and limitations that can affect treatment and recovery.
