Answer to Question 1

C
D. L. Sackett, well known in the EBM movement, encouraged evidenced-based medicine as a way to
integrate individual clinical medical experience with external clinical evidence using a systematic
research approach.

Answer to Question 2

B
Failing to honor a patient's advance directive (living will, medical power of attorney, or durable
medical power of attorney) puts caregivers at risk for charges of malpractice via battery. An example
of negligence would be not honoring a patient's wish to be resuscitated, and licensure may be revoked
or suspended due to certain acts (or failure to act) depending on the circumstances and outcomes
involved.
