Negligence in the medical field occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the standard of care that a reasonably competent professional would in similar circumstances, resulting in harm to the patient. In this scenario, adjusting a readout and not informing the physician directly affects patient care negatively and is seen as negligent behavior. Other scenarios involve mistakes but do not meet the standard of negligent conduct.
