A nurse practitioner is employed in a school health care center and has comprehensive malpractice insurance through the employer. Employer-provided malpractice insurance covers the nurse practitioner in which of the following situations?

Rationale: A. Providing consultation at a local health fair is outside the scope of employment, so employer-provided coverage typically does not apply. B. Treating a friend’s child is considered personal practice, not part of employment duties, and is not covered by employer insurance. C. Performing the Heimlich maneuver in a public setting may be covered under Good Samaritan laws, but it is generally not covered by employer-provided malpractice insurance. D. Treating students at the school-based health center is part of the nurse practitioner’s employment duties. Employer-provided malpractice insurance covers professional acts performed within the scope of employment, including assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of STDs in this setting.
