Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A nurse who practices her profession in a particular specialty service ... owes to her patients the duty of possessing the degree of knowledge and skill ordinarily possessed by members of her profession actively practicing in such a specialty service under similar circumstances. It is the nurse’s duty to exercise the degree of skill ordinarily employed, under similar circumstances, by members of the nursing profession in good standing who practice their profession in the same specialty service, and to use reasonable care and diligence, along with her [or his] best judgment, in the application of her [or his] skill to the case.”
