On a day that the unit is short staffed the nurse assigns an orienting nursing assistant to provide
  one-to-one supervision for a suicidal client.
 
  The nursing assistant takes the client to the hospital
  coffee shop, where the client runs out of the hospital into the path of a speeding automobile and
  sustains permanent brain injury. The hospital investigation reveals the nursing assistant had not
  received training relative to suicide precautions or one-to-one supervision. The statement that best
  explains the liability of the nurse in this situation is that the nurse
  a. is not liable because the nursing assistant provided the direct client supervision.
  b. is vicariously responsible for the nursing assistant's actions because she delegated
  the responsibility.
  c. is not accountable because she acted as an agent for the hospital.
  d. is not accountable because the hospital should have provided adequate staff.
