A client is receiving home health care to complete intravenous antibiotics. The nurse is scheduled to visit every other day to check the site and make sure the client’s wife is administering the medications safely and correctly. Both the client and his wife verbalize understanding of the symptoms of an infiltration, and the importance of reporting it immediately. With a scheduled visit 2 days later, the nurse finds the site red and swollen and the client’s arm tender. There is no indication that the client or his wife notified the nurse or home health agency. The lack of which condition will make it difficult to prove negligence on the nurse’s part?

[1] The nurse owed a duty to the client.
[2] The standard of care was not met.
[3] The action or inaction of the nurse directly caused the injury.
[4] Failure to act would cause harm to the client.
