Question: An explanation of the implications of the nursing budget when caring for patients who develop complications related to hospital stay is: It is normal that unexpected situations always occur, so the budget is not affected at all. It implies that the additional costs for extended stay are paid with the personnel salary. The budget is not affected because expenses are covered with surpluses from previous years. The expenses increases because health plans do not cover negligence or malpractice that prolongs the patient's stay.
