Question

The nursing faculty is lecturing on unintentional and intentional torts. The faculty asks a nursing student to provide an example of an unintentional tort. Which example, if provided by the student, would indicate the student has a clear understanding of torts?

Answer 1

Answer:

A nurse gives a medication and client has an adverse reaction.

Explanation:

Hi! The answer to your question would be an example such as when a nurse gives a medication and client has an adverse reaction.

This is because unintentional tort refer to when the person did not intend harm, but harm occurred anyway. In this particular case, the nurse was not looking to harm the patient by givign him a certain medication, but accidents occur and the patient turned out being harmed. Since this wasn't done on purpose, this would be an unintentional tort.
