Option 1 constitutes sexual misconduct, for which the client can sue the nurse. (This behavior may also be considered criminal in some states.) Option 2 is poor nursing and unethical but does not constitute grounds for suing. Option 3 demonstrates that the nurse respects the client's right to refuse treatment. In option 4, the nurse uses prudence to protect the client from suicidal im-pulses.
