Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A caregiver is caring for a client who is uncooperative, verbally abusive, and disrespectful towards the nurse. The nurse responds defensively and threatens to withhold the client’s meal tray if they do not cooperate. Which of the following intentional torts has the nurse demonstrated?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Assault. Assault is the intentional act of causing someone to fear that they will be harmed. In this scenario, the nurse's threat to withhold the client's meal tray if they do not cooperate constitutes an act that creates fear of harm in the client, which aligns with the definition of assault.
Choice A: Abandonment is incorrect because it refers to the desertion of a client by the caregiver, which is not demonstrated in this scenario.
Choice B: Battery is incorrect as it involves the intentional harmful or offensive physical contact with another person, which is not present in the scenario.
Choice D: False imprisonment is incorrect as it involves the unlawful confinement or restraint of a person, which is not the case here.
In summary, the nurse's action of threatening the client with withholding their meal tray constitutes assault due to the creation of fear of harm in the client, making it the correct intentional tort demonstrated in this scenario.
