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.

You hesitate to touch her because you are concerned that if you do, she could accuse you of:

  b. battery.
  c. breach of duty.
