Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Preventing movement or making a person stay in a place without obtaining consent is false imprisonment. This can be done through physical or nonphysical means. To restrain a person is a very serious decision. It requires a physician's order and permission of the patient or the patient's family members. It is something that should be used in the most dire situations and then only if everything else has been tried.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Fraud is a deliberate deception for the purpose of personal gain and is usually prosecuted as a crime.
