A nurse is teaching a class on torts. The nurse should instruct the class that administering an antibiotic medication to a competent client after the client has refused it is an example of which of the following torts?

Rationale:

A. Nurses and emergency medical personnel are trained and designated as triage officers during a disaster, responsible for assessing and prioritizing patients.

B. Law enforcement officers are crucial for security and crowd control but not typically involved in triage.

C. FEMA members provide overall disaster management but are not specifically triage officers.

D. American Red Cross representatives assist with disaster relief but do not handle triage responsibilities directly.

Rationale:

A. Check the position of a client in soft wrist restraints is appropriate for an AP as it involves routine monitoring and ensuring the client's safety.

B. Accompany a client who has depression to occupational therapy is a task that can be assigned to an AP, as it involves providing support and ensuring the client's safe arrival to therapy.

C. Set limits with a client who has mania is not appropriate for an AP, as this involves therapeutic communication and behavior management, which requires nursing judgment.

D. Sit with a client who has alcohol use disorder and whose last drink was five days ago can be assigned to an AP as it involves providing a supportive presence and monitoring, but the nurse should assess for withdrawal symptoms.

E. Assess a client who has hypomania for exhaustion is a nursing responsibility that involves evaluation and judgment, making it inappropriate to delegate to an AP.
