Question

please read the scenario and decide which answer works best. possible points 3 13 a nurse is off duty and witnesses a car accident. she stops to help an injured driver by controlling bleeding until paramedics arrive. later, the patients family threatens to sue her, claiming she didnt do enough. which law would most likely protect the nurse from legal action? patient self - determination act affordable care act patient safety law good samaritan law

Explanation:

• The Patient Self - Determination Act is about a patient's right to make decisions regarding their medical care (like advance directives), not protecting a helper in this scenario.
• The Affordable Care Act is mainly about healthcare access and insurance reforms, not relevant to protecting a nurse who helps in an accident.
• The Patient Safety Law focuses on preventing errors and improving safety within healthcare facilities, not on off - duty helpers.
• The Good Samaritan Law is designed to protect people (like the off - duty nurse) who voluntarily offer aid in an emergency situation from legal liability, as long as they act in good faith.

Answer:

Good Samaritan Law
