Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who refuses to follow the provider's prescription for strict bed rest. The nurse overhears an assistive personnel (AP) tell the client,If you do not remain in bed, I will place you in restraints. The nurse should identify that the AP is committing which of the following torts?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assault. Assault is the intentional threat or apprehension of harmful or offensive contact. In this scenario, the AP's statement of placing the client in restraints if they do not comply constitutes a threat of physical harm, which is considered assault. This is different from battery (choice
D), which involves actual physical contact. False imprisonment (choice
B) involves unlawfully confining or restraining someone, which is not the case here. Defamation of character (choice
C) involves making false statements that harm a person's reputation, which is also not applicable in this situation.
