Negligence is:

  1. A detailed care plan

  2. Administration of proper care

  3. Actions or the failure to act or give care to a person, resulting in unintended injury

  4. Theft or misuse of property

The correct answer is: Actions or the failure to act or give care to a person, resulting in unintended injury

Negligence is the failure to act or give proper care to a person, which can result in unintended injury. Option A, a detailed care plan, is incorrect because simply having a care plan does not guarantee proper care or prevent negligence. Option B, administration of proper care, is also incorrect because negligence refers to the failure to give proper care, not the act of giving proper care. Option D, theft or misuse of property, is also incorrect as it does not involve a failure to act or give care to a person.
