Question 1 of 5
A nurse manager overhears a nurse telling a client, 'I will administer your medication by injection if you donβt swallow your pills.' The nurse manager should identify that the nurse is committing which of the following torts?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Assault. Assault is the intentional threat of harmful or offensive contact with a person, creating fear of imminent harm. In this scenario, the nurse's statement of administering medication by injection if the client doesn't comply constitutes a threat of harm, hence meeting the criteria for assault. Other choices are incorrect because: A: Invasion of privacy involves a violation of a person's right to privacy, not relevant here. B: Battery is the intentional harmful or offensive contact without consent, not applicable in this situation. C: Defamation involves false statements that harm a person's reputation, not happening here.
