A cyber Tort is a tort committed via the internet. Issues that are being defined are those of "publication", authorship or ownership and disclosure of authorship by Internet service providers. Who is the publisher of defamatory statements? Are First Amendment rights involved? Does the dissemination of Spam constitute a "taking of property" from either this ISP or the e-mail recipient. The development of statutory regulation at both state and the Federal level is attempting to deal with this issue.

A nurse humiliates a patient what tort occurred?

The way in which the humiliation occurs is vital to determining which tort should be applied in this situation. Negligence is where a duty of care to a party has been breached by a second party. As in this case the nurse would have a clear duty of care to his/her patient, then if the humiliation was a consequence of mistreatment, or the nurse not correctly addessing the needs of the patient, then this tort can be applied Nucience is where a party interrupts the right of another party to quiet enjoyment of their property. I doubt that this tort could be applied in this situation, but if the humiliation came from the nurse continually acting in a manner contarary to the best interests of the patient, then it may be applied. maybe. Defamation is the tort that covers a persons implied right to a good reputation. So if the patient was humiliated due to an act or omission by the nurse, then this should be applied.

The downside to any of these actions is that it needs to be proved that monetarily quantifiable loss has ensued due to the actions of the nurse, whcih may be difficult to prove.
