Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Pharmacy Practice and Tort Law AB - All of us have expectations as to how we should be treated in our interactions with others. We generally expect to be treated with respect, fairness, and concern for our needs. Overall such treatment should be standard and reasonable. It has been stated that, “the standard of care … is the duty to exercise the care that would be exercised by a reasonable and prudent person under the same or similar circumstances to avoid or minimize risks of harm to others.”1 The court in Gossett v. Jackson stated the “standard of care” in the following terms, “… negligence is the failure to exercise that degree of care which an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under the same or similar circumstances to avoid injury to another.”2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accesspharmacy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1128399524 ER -
