AAMA CMA Practice Question
During a follow-up visit, a patient with a history of non-compliance and aggression necessitates a blood draw. The patient seems agitated and appears to reluctantly agree to the procedure. Mid-way through the draw, the patient starts to protest, but the medical assistant proceeds to quickly finish collecting the sample to avoid a confrontation. If the patient later claims the medical assistant committed a tort, which one is most applicable?
False imprisonment
Defamation
Battery
Assault
