    III. ESSAY (5 POINTS)

    1. Differentiate nursing malpractice and nursing negligence.

    ANSWERS:

    Negligence - is the failure to provide care as a reasonable person would to avoid harm to a
    patient. For example, you would expect a nurse to provide care for his or her patients in order for
    them to heal without further injury. Four elements are necessary to prove medical negligence has
    resulted in an injury. The four elements are duty of care, breach of duty of care, cause of injury,
    and some form of damages. Malpractice - is a type of negligence; it is often called "professional
    negligence". It occurs when a licensed professional (like a doctor, lawyer or accountant) fails to
    provide services as per the standards set by the governing body ("standard of care"),
    subsequently causing harm to the plaintiff.
