Malpractice is defined as negligence by a healthcare provider that results in injury to a patient. Medical negligence comprises four elements: duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages. The duty of the physician is to provide care equal to the same standard of care ordinarily executed by surgeons in the same medical specialty. Breach of duty occurs when action or failure to act deviates from the standard of care. Incorrect answers: 1: Intent is something that is intended; an aim or purpose. 2: Causation is present when it is demonstrated that failure to meet the standard of care was the direct cause of the patient’s injuries. 3: Standard of care is the level and type of treatment that would be expected in similar situations by treating physicians. 5: Damages are monies awarded as compensation for injuries sustained as the result of medical negligence.
