Question 1 of 5

A charge nurse is planning an in-service for newly licensed nurses on tort law in mental health care. Which of the following scenarios should the charge nurse provide as an example of an unintentional tort?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it represents an unintentional tort known as negligence. The nurse's failure to clarify the prescription and resulting in a medication error demonstrates a breach of duty to provide safe care, which caused harm to the client. Negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care expected in their profession, resulting in harm to the patient. In this scenario, the nurse did not intentionally harm the client but was negligent in not ensuring the prescription was clear and accurate.



Choices B, C, and D are examples of intentional torts. Posting private information on social media, using restraints without a prescription, and threatening physical harm are intentional actions that violate the client's rights and are not accidental. These actions would fall under invasion of privacy, battery, and assault, respectively.
Therefore, they do not represent unintentional torts like negligence.
