Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is an example of libel?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Libel involves making defamatory statements against another person in written form. These statements can harm the person's reputation or feelings. In this scenario, the correct answer is when a client reads disparaging remarks that a nurse has written about him in his chart. This constitutes libel because the negative remarks are written down and can potentially damage the client's reputation.
Choices A, C, and D do not involve libel.
Choice A describes a verbal statement, not written, so it does not constitute libel.
Choice C involves a failure to notify a physician, which is a different issue unrelated to libel.
Choice D pertains to administering medication without an order, which is a matter of improper practice rather than libel.
