A patient, injured at work, was seen by the factory occupational nurse. The nurse treated the wound and instructed the patient to get a tetanus antitoxin injection at the county health department. The patient failed to follow instructions, developed tetanus, and subsequently filed a suit against the nurse. What is the most likely result of the ensuing trial as it relates to the nurse's liability?
◦ The nurse is not liable, because tetanus is a reportable disease and the health department should have insisted the patient take the injection.
◦ The nurse is liable, because there was no follow-up to ensure that the patient received the injection.
◦ The nurse is liable, because tetanus is easily treatable after diagnosis.
◦ The nurse is not liable for damages, because the nurse has a right to expect that instructions will be followed.
