A charge nurse is planning an in-service for newly licensed nurses on tort law in mental health care. Which of the following scenarios should the charge nurse provide as an example of an unintentional tort?

A reason: A nurse did not clarify a client's prescription that was difficult to read, resulting in a medication error. This scenario describes negligence, an unintentional tort, where the nurse failed to act with the standard of care expected, leading to a medication error. B reason: A nurse posted private information on social media about a client who has a substance use disorder. Posting private information without consent is an intentional tort, specifically a breach of confidentiality and invasion of privacy. C reason: A nurse placed a client in mechanical restraints without obtaining a prescription, resulting in injury. This scenario describes an intentional tort, as the nurse intentionally restrained the client without proper authorization, leading to harm. D reason: A nurse threatened a client with physical harm after the client became verbally abusive to staff members. Threatening a client with harm is an intentional tort, specifically assault, which involves an intentional act of creating apprehension of harmful contact.
