Before the surgery, the surgeon marks the surgical site (right leg), and the nurse verifies this site. After the surgery has begun, the nurse catches up on her charting and finds that the patient's infection was, in fact, on the left leg rather than the right leg. The nurse, fearful of being reprimanded, does and says nothing. When the patient is conscious, he becomes emotionally distraught as he realizes the wrong leg was amputated. He states, "I cannot live like this! I want to die! I'm going to sue all of you and make you pay!"Which of the following applies to this scenario?
