Answer to Question 1

A
Patients have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Patients should never be made the object of jokes about their illness. Patient emotional abuse has been demonstrated, not negligence. This example is not clearly defamation. Patient abuse, not supervisory liability, is the issue.

Answer to Question 2

C
Death is particularly difficult to accept during adolescence because the developmental task at this age is to define who one is and to establish an identity. Loss at this age may make a person stand out from their peer group.
