Case: A graduate nurse says, “Because the first few months are difficult for everyone, patient safety is mainly the responsibility of the organisation rather than my individual responsibility.” Which response is most accurate?单项选择题

The statement is inaccurate because patient safety is primarily the responsibility of the medical practitioner and not the registered nurse during the graduate transition period.

The statement is accurate because newly graduated registered nurses are functioning under supervised practice and the supervising organisation holds primary accountability for outcomes.

The statement is accurate unless the nurse is working in a critical care environment because critical care settings assign individual accountability from the first day of employment.

The statement is inaccurate because transition support is important but the individual nurse remains responsible for safe practice within their scope and for appropriate escalation.
