Answer to Question 1

B
Battery is the actual touching of another, including administering a medication over the patient's refusal. Assault is the threat to do so. Negligence is the failure to act as an ordinary and reasona-bly prudent person would act in the same or similar circumstances. Malpractice is a specialized kind of negligence and is defined as the violation of a professional duty.

Answer to Question 2

B
Options a, c, and d are all forms of negligence. Nonmalfeasance is the bioethical principle of doing no harm.
