Answer to Question 1

D
Tort law is defined as a negligent or intentional civil wrongdoing resulting out of a contract or statute that causes injury to another person in some way. As a result of this wrongdoing, the injured party may sue the wrongdoer for damages (The Lectric' Law Library's Lexicon on Tort, 2008). Some other characteristics of tort law include the: 1) denial of an individual's legal right; 2) failure to comply with a public duty; and 3) failure to perform a private duty that results in harm to another. Examples of tort include malpractice, neglect, or assault and battery.

Answer to Question 2

A
Anger is an emotion that nurses may experience in the workplace due to a number of different factors.
Some of the primary reasons for nurses' anger in the workplace are unreasonable workload,
demeaning treatment by other health care workers, inadequate staffing, mismanagement of patients,
lack of administrative support, feeling powerless to influence difficult situations, and feeling like
scapegoats for mistakes within the system. Long hours, while a considerable problem especially when
overtime becomes mandatory, can contribute to nurses' anger but is not one of the primary reasons and
can fall under the categories of inadequate staffing (hence the overtime) or feeling powerless within
the system.
