Best Answer

If a nurse falsely imprisons someone against their will, the health care facility will also be guilty of such act. So you can sue the health care facility.

You can also get the medical records and the nurse's name should be on there, together with a most likely false excuse for the imprisonment.

With her name, you can file criminal charges. No citizen is free from criminal prosecution.

NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT to take away the liberty of another human without due process.

NO ONE!

False imprisonment is not only psychologically detrimental to the victim, but to the victim's family as well.
