Question 1 of 5
What tort is committed by an assistive personnel who threatens to put a client in restraints for not following a provider's prescription for strict bed rest?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assault. Assault is the threat of harmful or offensive contact without consent. In this scenario, the assistive personnel's threat to restrain the client constitutes an act that creates a reasonable fear of imminent harmful contact, even if the restraints are not actually applied. This meets the criteria for assault.
The other choices are incorrect because:
B: Defamation of character involves making false statements that harm a person's reputation.
C: False imprisonment is the intentional confinement or restraint of a person's freedom of movement without justification.
D: Battery involves the intentional harmful or offensive contact with a person without consent.
