What is defined as the failure to perform duties?

  1. Malpractice

  2. Negligence

  3. Assault

  4. Misdemeanour

The correct answer is: Negligence

Negligence is defined as the failure to perform duties that a reasonable and prudent person in the same profession would have done. This includes not meeting the required standard of care, such as a doctor not properly diagnosing a patient's illness or providing inadequate treatment. Option A, malpractice, is a legal term that refers to the negligence or misconduct of a professional in their duties. Option C, assault, is the threat or attempt to harm someone, while option D, misdemeanor, refers to a minor criminal offense. Therefore, neither of these options accurately describe the definition of failure to perform duties.
