I’m studying for my Nursing class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

The initial response should provide 1 APA formatted scholarly journal reference & 1 additional reference. The nurse knows the nursing assistant did not take vital signs on several patients but has fabricated them and is documenting these false vital signs on patients’ charts. (Answer the following questions)

1. What potential legal/ethical issues can arise in this situation?
2. Who would be held responsible if a legal case results from this negligent care?
