For a nurse to be charged with malpractice in a malpractice lawsuit, four legal elements must be present. Three of these are the duty the nurse owes to the client, a breach of that duty, and the breach of duty being the cause of damage.
 
  The fourth element that must be present is: a. The nurse caused more than 50 of the damage.
  b. The hospital policies did not support the nurse's actions.
  c. There was actual damage to the client.
  d. Damage in this case was permanent and irreversible.
