Question 5 of 5

The nurse splints the arm using two baseball bats. The child is transported to the hospital and later develops compartmental syndrome in the arm. Which statement regarding the nurse's liability in this case is accurate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse is protected by the Good Samaritan Act, which states that the nurse may give emergency care using good judgment.
