Two hospitalized patients fight when they are in the same room. During a team meeting, a nurse asserts that safety is of paramount importance, so treatment plans should call for both patients to be secluded to keep them from injuring each other.
 
  This assertion: a. reinforces the autonomy of the two patients.
  b. violates the civil rights of both patients.
  c. represents the intentional tort of battery.
  d. correctly places emphasis on safety.

Question 2

Three members of the therapy group share covert glances as other members of the group bring up problems. One of them often makes a statement that subtly puts down another speaker or takes exception to a comment by the group leader.
 
  The others then nod in agreement. What explanation should the leader suspect underlies this group dynamic? a. Some members are acting as a subgroup instead of as members of the main group.
  b. The members in question are showing their frustration with slower members.
  c. Some of the members have become bored and are tuning out the rest.
  d. The members in question are passive aggressive in their personality style.

Answer to Question 1

B
Patients have a right to treatment in the least restrictive setting. Safety is important, but less restrictive measures should be tried first. Unnecessary seclusion may result in a charge of false imprisonment. Seclusion removes the patient's autonomy. The principle by which the nurse is motivated is beneficence, not justice. The tort represented is false imprisonment.

Answer to Question 2

A
Subgroupssmall groups isolated within a larger group and functioning separately from itsometimes form within therapy groups. When this occurs, subgroup members are cohesive with other subgroup members but not with the members of the larger group. Members of the subgroup may be bored or frustrated or expressing passive aggression, but the primary dynamic seen here is the splitting off of a subgroup that operates separately within the main group.
