Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Criminal malpractice includes crimes such as assault and battery or euthanasia (handled in crimi-nal court).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The legal principle res ipsa loquitur (the thing speaks for itself) may apply. Res ipsa loquitur is sometimes invoked to show that the harm would not ordinarily have happened if those in control had used appropriate care.
