A nurse has agreed to participate in a videotaped deposition in a malpractice case. What does this indicate?
1. The nurse is testifying as an expert witness.
2. The plaintiff's attorney believes the nurse is a liability for personal trial appearance, but will be credible on tape.
3. The nurse is afraid testimony will adversely affect employment opportunities.
4. The nurse's testimony can be presented in court, even though the nurse is unavailable for the trial date.
4
Rationale: Taped depositions are frequently reserved for witnesses who will not be present for the actual trial. There is no indication that this nurse is testifying as an expert witness or that the nurse will be a liability for personal trial appearance. The video will be played as a part of the trial procedures, so there would be no difference in its effect on employment opportunities.
