Question 1 of 5
Which situations demonstrate liable behavior on the part of the staff? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because forgetting to obtain consent for a medical procedure, especially for a cognitively impaired patient, is a clear case of liable behavior as it violates the patient's rights and can lead to serious consequences. Choice B is incorrect because leaving a patient with suicidal thoughts alone in the bathroom is a negligent behavior, not liable. Choice C is incorrect because promising to restrain a patient without proper authorization or assessment is not appropriate and can lead to liability issues. Choice D is incorrect because reassuring a paranoid patient about medication safety is not necessarily liable behavior unless there are specific concerns about tampering that were not addressed appropriately.
