Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who refuses treatment and asks to be discharged from the hospital against medical advice. The nurse notifies the client's provider, who tells the nurse to restrain the client, if necessary, to keep her from leaving the hospital. The nurse understands that restraining this client would be considered which type of civil action by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: False imprisonment occurs when an individual is unlawfully restrained or confined against their will. In this scenario, the provider's directive to restrain the client against her wishes constitutes false imprisonment if the restraint is not justified by the client's medical condition or pose an immediate danger to herself or others.
