REASONABLE PERSON
A phrase frequently used in TORT and CRIMINAL LAW to denote a hypothetical person in society who exercises average care, skill, and judgment in conduct and who serves as a comparative standard for determining liability.

The decision whether an accused is guilty of a given offense might involve the application of an objective test in which the conduct of the accused is compared to that of a reasonable person under similar circumstances.

http://law.enotes.com/wests-law-encyclopedia/reasonable-pers...

from: Rethinking the Reasonable Person
An Egalitarian Reconstruction of the Objective Standard Mayo
Description
The \'reasonable person\' is used to assess the acceptability of behavior in many areas of the law including criminal law and accident law. However the reasonable person has also attracted substantial criticism from egalitarian critics and feminists insofar as it presupposes contested notions of \'normal\' behaviour and may discriminate against certain classes of defendant. Rethinking the Reasonable Person systematically investigates whether there are deeper foundations to these criticisms and discusses how the legal standard might be reconstructed in a more egalitarian way.

buen padre de familia (person); medidas prudentes (steps)


Explanation:
The context in which "reasonable person" and "reasonable steps" are used in your text would certainly be useful to enable us to offer appropriate translations. Nevertheless, the Spanish law equivalent (appearing in the civil codes of Spain and Latin American countries) of "reasonable person" is "buen padre de familia" and the standard of diligence required of a "reasonable person" in those civil codes is the "diligencia del buen padre de familia." In other respects, "reasonable steps in that sense could likewise be rendered as "medidas prudentes."

(examples of the use of "buen padre de familia" by authors who equate it with "reasonable person":)
