A nurse is discussing torts with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. Assault is a tort that only occurs if a client is physically harmed. Assault is the threat of harm, not the actual harm. Physical harm would be battery. B. False imprisonment does not apply to use of chemical restraints. False imprisonment includes the improper use of both physical and chemical restraints if used without medical justification or consent. C. Negligence is the most common unintentional tort. Negligence occurs when a nurse fails to meet the standard of care, leading to client harm, making it the most common unintentional tort in healthcare. D. Battery occurs when a person verbally threatens to harm another person. Battery involves actual physical contact without consent, while threats fall under assault.
