test / question 16 of 20
what law protects against civil lawsuits when we try to help a victim in medical need?
a the right to defend yourself
b the good samaritan act
c the whistleblower protection act
d osha 1910.151

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "The right to defend yourself" is unrelated to protecting those who help victims in medical need.
• Option B: The Good Samaritan Act is designed to protect individuals from civil lawsuits when they provide reasonable assistance to those in medical distress (like during CPR or other emergency medical situations).
• Option C: The Whistleblower Protection Act is about protecting employees who report illegal or unethical activities in the workplace, not about helping medical victims.
• Option D: OSHA 1910.151 pertains to workplace medical and first - aid standards, not to protecting those who assist victims outside of a workplace context (or even in general for civil lawsuit protection when helping).

Answer:

B. The Good Samaritan Act
