Questiоns 30-33 аre bаsed оn the fоllowing scenаrio: An 80-year-old jazz singer began experiencing difficulty breathing and an increase in his cough and sputum production during a performance last week. He was hospitalized due to an acute exacerbation of his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He was also receiving high-dose systemic corticosteroids and other medications for comorbidities of type II diabetes and mild cognitive impairment. After 6 days of treatment, the patient developed symptoms of steroid-induced psychosis (delusions, hallucinations, reduced mentation) and began demanding to leave the hospital because he had to get back to his band and tour. A psychiatric consult was completed, a new antipsychotic medication was ordered, and the steroid dose decreased. However, even with the new medication orders, the evening nurse caring for the patient administered the original dose of steroids and did not initiate the new antipsychotic medication. The next morning, when the dayshift RN assigned to the patient arrived to perform the patient's assessment, the patient's oxygen saturation level was 81%. The nurse observed that at the time, the patient did not have his nasal cannula on. The dayshift nurse replaced the patient's nasal cannula and educated him on the necessity of wearing the cannula. When the dayshift nurse returned to check on him, the patient was not in his bed or room. Upon beginning a search, the dayshift nurse learned that another nurse had seen the patient get on the elevator dressed in street clothes. The police were notified, and a search and rescue operation began. The patient was found dead roughly one mile from the hospital, six hours after he eloped from the hospital. The patient's daughter later filed a malpractice lawsuit. Is there a duty owed by the nurses in this situation?

During the surgery, the surgeon unknowingly punctured the patient's bladder, resulting in an infection in her abdomen. Twenty-four hours postoperative, the patient developed a low-grade fever of 101, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The nurse noted the patient's symptoms in the electronic health record but took no further action about this information. After shift change, the new nurse read the notes, assessed the patient, and notified the surgeon of the patient's symptoms. The following day, the patient's condition worsened. She was transferred to the ICU and was critically ill with sepsis. She required two additional surgeries to repair her bladder and 15 days of hospitalization to treat the sepsis. The patient and her husband sued for malpractice. Was there a breach of duty by the nurse in this situation?
