Negligence in nursing care requires proof of FOUR elements. Which is the correct list?

Explanation

The common-law elements of negligence (California Civil Jury Instructions, CACI 400) are: (1) Duty — the CNA owes a duty of care to the resident; (2) Breach — the CNA failed to meet the standard of care expected of a reasonably prudent CNA; (3) Causation — the breach caused the harm; and (4) Damages — actual injury or loss. Failing to turn a resident leading to a pressure injury, dropping a resident during a one-person transfer, or not reporting a change in condition can all create negligence claims. Intent (d) is not required for negligence — recklessness is enough.
