A nurse does not take a client's apical heart rate, but documents that it was taken in the client's electronic health record (EHR). Which of the following terms describes the nurse's actions? A. Libel B. Slander C. Battery D. Falsification Which of the following terms describes the nurse's actions?

A. Libel B. Slander C. Battery D. Falsification

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Falsification. Falsification refers to the act of intentionally recording inaccurate information. In this scenario, the nurse falsely documented taking the client's apical heart rate without actually doing so. This action violates ethical standards and compromises the accuracy of the client's health record.

A. Libel and B. Slander refer to defamation through written or spoken statements, which do not apply in this case. C. Battery involves intentional harmful or offensive physical contact, which is not relevant to the situation described.

In summary, the nurse's actions of falsely documenting the apical heart rate in the EHR constitute falsification, as they deliberately provided inaccurate information.
