Answer to Question 1

The Good Samaritan Act protects off-duty health care workers from civil liability when they render aid within their specialized body of knowledge at the scene of an emergency. They are expected to provide care as would another professional with the same background and education.

Answer to Question 2

D
Torts are civil wrongs committed by a person against another person or against property. Tort law is the enforcement of duties and rights of individuals independent of contractual agreements.
