Question 1 of 5
The nurse educator is instructing newly hired nurses about client rights and the legal obligations of hospital staff. Which of the following would be an example to use when describing an assault in a clinical situation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This statement describes assault because it involves a threat of harm. In this case, the nurse is threatening to apply restraints to a client, which can cause the client to fear imminent physical contact or harm. Assault does not necessarily involve physical contact, but the threat or attempt to cause harm. This statement describes battery rather than assault. Battery involves actual physical contact or harm. Physically forcing the client to stay after they request to be discharged constitutes battery, as it involves unwanted physical contact. This statement does not describe assault. Sending an email with a poor performance evaluation about another person is an issue of professional conduct and confidentiality but does not involve a threat of harm or physical contact. This statement does not describe assault. Making derogatory remarks about someone’s competency is an issue of professional behavior and respect but does not involve a threat or act of physical harm.
