You arrive at the scene of an accident where a 22-year-old female skier has hit a tree and has a large bleeding cut on her head. When you ask her if she needs help, she refuses care and says she just needs to sit for a while. Noticing the amount of bleeding, you calmly express your concern for her, but she continues to say she doesn't want help. You hesitate to touch her because you are concerned that if you do, she could accuse you of:
 
  a. assault.
  b. battery.
  c. breach of duty.
  d. duty to act.
