Hi :)

I would say it’s C) A nurse forgets to feed a patient

Because, the patient may be unable to eat on his/her own, and it could need the energy from the food

Hope this helps!

Answer: A nurse forgets to feed a patient.

The term "negligence" is defined as "failure to take proper care in doing something". In this case, the nurse forgot their duties to feed the patient.

Choice A can be ruled out because medical negligence applies to doctors, nurses, etc. and not patients.

Choice B can be ruled out as well because criticism is not considered failing to perform a specific duty. The same can be said about choice D as well.
