Answer to Question 1

C
Criminal law relates to conduct that is considered an offense against the general public because it is detrimental to public safety or welfare, such as state laws defining acts of murder, burglary, and assault and battery. This is the most common example of public law.

Answer to Question 2

B
An individual's personality develops in an orderly fashion from dependence to independence, meaning that a nurse should choose learning activities for the client that encourage self-care through empowerment.
