Answer:D). The EMT is not negligent because she did not have a duty to act.

Explanation: This is because there is no 'duty to act' for off EMTs. In fact, EMTs are considered civilians when off duty and can only act when on duty under the authorization of their medical control physician.

If they do, it would be considered illegal and also expose them to great risks if anything went wrong.

I hope you found this helpful .

This is because the 40 year old woman is more likely to have had more exposure to harmful environmental influences, leading to faulty cell division

Explanation:

Down Syndrome is Congenital Disorder. This disorder arises due to a chromosomal defect.

This defect or disorder can produce physical abnormalities as well as intellectual impairments. The people with this syndrome are affected both physically and mentally.

People with Down Syndrome are usually short stature with a broad facial profile.
