Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Failure to secure a patient's permission before a procedure like blood collection can lead to legal actions for assault and battery. Assault involves making someone fear they will be harmed, while battery involves unauthorized physical contact or harm. Malpractice and negligence typically require a failure in the standard of care, not just lack of consent.
