2. A doctor has a duty to treat and diagnose a patient with due care (OPTION C).

Once the basic doctor-patient relationship is established, the doctor owes to the patient the duty of care in deciding whether to undertake the case; in deciding what treatment to give; and in the administration of that treatment.

 

6. A prudent individual whose behavior would be appropriate under the circumstances is called a reasonable person (OPTION B).

Appropriate behavior includes such things as exercising average care, skill, and judgment in conduct and an avoidance of extremes of both audacity and caution.

 

7. When a product fails to perform as warranted, this is called breach of warranty (OPTION C).

Breach of warranty is a term that refers of the failure of a seller to satisfy the terms of a promise, claim, or representation that was made about the quality or type of the product.

 

13. Statutes are legislation passed by legislative bodies on the federal and state levels (OPTION B).

Statutes are acts of a legislature (passed by elected officials in the legislative arm of federal and state governments) that declares, proscribes, or commands a particular law, by expressing it in writing.

 

14. Res ipsa loquitur means that the burden of proof shifts to the defendant (OPTION A).

Res ipsa loquitur literarily means “the thing speaks for itself” and is usually used to imply that the occurrence of an accident implies negligence. For this reason, the burden of proof shifts to the defendant to prove that he or she was not negligent.

 

16. The statement about defensive medicine which is true is Option A. - It's the result of fewer malpractice claims.

This implies that a Physician or Surgeon who practices defensive medicine has a lower chance of a medical malpractice suit.

 

17. A patient who contributes to causing harm is guilty of comparative negligence (Option A)

Comparative negligence<span> can be used as a legal defense to reduce the amount of damages that the patient can recover in a negligence-based court suit, based on the measure to which the patient’s negligence contributed to cause the injury.</span>

Which pathogens do antibiotics kill
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

This is what I know about Antibiotics

I Hope it helps:)

Antibiotics are powerful medicines that fight bacterial infections. They either kill bacteria or stop them from reproducing, allowing the body's natural defenses to eliminate the pathogens. Used properly, antibiotics can save lives. But growing antibiotic resistance is curbing the effectiveness of these drugs.

Explanation:

A bactericidal antibiotic, such as penicillin, kills the bacteria. These drugs usually interfere with either the formation of the bacterial cell wall or its cell contents. A bacteriostatic stops bacteria from multiplying.
