Question 1 of 5

The nurse calls security and has physical restraints applied to a competent client who becomes both physically and verbally abusive while demanding to be discharged from the hospital. Which represents the possible legal ramifications for the nurse associated with these interventions? (Select All That Apply)

Correct Answer: B,C,E

Rationale:
Choice A reason: Libel refers to written defamation of character. It does not apply to this situation as there are no written statements involved that defame the client.
Choice B reason: Assault involves creating a fear of imminent harmful or offensive contact. In this scenario, the nurse's action of having security apply restraints could be seen as creating an apprehension of physical harm, thereby constituting assault.
Choice C reason: False imprisonment occurs when a person is confined or restrained against their will without legal justification. Applying physical restraints to a competent client who wishes to leave the hospital can be considered false imprisonment.
Choice D reason: Slander refers to spoken defamation of character. Since this situation does not involve spoken statements that defame the client, slander is not applicable.
Choice E reason: Battery involves actual physical contact that is harmful or offensive. Having security apply physical restraints to the client constitutes battery, as it involves unwanted and offensive physical contact.
