The nurse is cаring fоr а pаtient with uncоntrоlled hypertension. His blood pressure has remained controlled for the nurse's shift.

During the next shift, the patient has a stroke. Years later, the patient files a lawsuit blaming the hospital for his stroke. The nurse who was caring for the patient when his blood pressure was stable cannot recall the exact blood pressure she obtained, but remembers it was normal. Will this recollection suffice in court and why?
