Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Defamation is an intentionally false communication or publication (Black's Law Dictionary, 2005). Other terms that relate to defamation are: slander (verbal communication) and libel (written communication). DNAR refers to a do not attempt resuscitation order on a patient, but is not a term specific to defamation.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Criminal law concentrates on the actions of individuals that intentionally do harm to others. Some areas of criminal law that affect nurses and nursing practice include: 1) criminal background checks, 2) prohibition against substance abuse, and 3) reportability of physical abuse. Medicare requirements and eligibility fall under the administrative law category.
