Questiоns 24-27 аre bаsed оn the fоllowing scenаrio:A 39-year-old married mother of three underwent a tubal ligation procedure. During the surgery, the surgeon unknowingly punctured the patient's bladder, resulting in an infection in her abdomen. Twenty-four hours postoperative, the patient developed a low-grade fever of 101, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The nurse noted the patient's symptoms in the electronic health record but took no further action about this information. After shift change, the new nurse read the notes, assessed the patient, and notified the surgeon of the patient's symptoms. The following day, the patient's condition worsened. She was transferred to the ICU and was critically ill with sepsis. She required two additional surgeries to repair her bladder and 15 days of hospitalization to treat the sepsis. The patient and her husband sued for malpractice. Was there a breach of duty by the nurse in this situation?
