Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Informed consent must be obtained for invasive procedures ordered for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. Parents cannot give informed consent for the treatment of their children, but they can authorize their treatment up to a certain age (authorized consent). Informed consent means that the patient is informed in nonmedical language. The patient is told in nonmedical language that he or she has the right to revoke written permission at any time.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Slander is defamation by verbalizing untrue or private information (gossip) to a third party. Libel is defamation through written communication or pictures. Assault is an unjustified attempt or threat to touch someone. Battery means to cause physical harm to someone. When a patient refuses a treatment or medication, forcing the patient to take medication could result in an assault and battery charge.
