The contract between a nurse and a hospital delineates the nurse's salary, benefits package, and when the job will begin. The contract does not state that the nurse must provide quality care
What is the term used to describe the quality expectation? 1. Expressed terms
2. Implied terms
3. Inherent terms
4. Silent terms
2
Rationale: Expressed terms are the specific terms discussed or negotiated (in this case, salary, benefits, and job start date), and inherent terms are those terms always present regardless of other factors. Implied terms are those that each side anticipated were a part of the contract but that were never actually expressed or discussed. There was no discussion of silent terms in the reading.
