Answer to Question 1

A
Sick and broken

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 the wishes of a patient who does not have an advance directive and letting him die. Licensure could be revoked or suspended due to certain acts (or failure to act), but this is not a guarantee and is dependent upon the circumstances and outcomes involved.
