Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing an in-service for a group of nurses about malpractice issues in nursing. Which of the following examples should the nurse include in the teaching as an example of malpractice?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because administering potassium via IV bolus is a clear example of malpractice. IV potassium should never be given as a bolus due to the risk of causing cardiac arrest. This action violates the standard of care and puts the patient at serious risk.
Choice B is incorrect because leaving a nasogastric tube clamped after administering oral medication does not directly relate to malpractice.
Choice C is incorrect because placing a yellow bracelet for fall risk is a safety measure and not malpractice.
Choice D is incorrect because documenting communication in progress notes is a standard practice in nursing and not malpractice.
