What is defined as failure to perform duties by the standards of the profession?

Malpractice
Negligence
Incompetence
Unprofessionalism

The correct answer is: Negligence

B Negligence is defined as the failure to perform duties by the standards of the profession. This involves not meeting the expected level of care, skill, or judgement in one's actions, resulting in harm or injury to another person. Malpractice, while related, specifically refers to the failure to meet the standard of care in providing medical treatment. Incompetence and unprofessionalism may also involve failing to meet standards, but they do not necessarily refer to professional duties and may have a wider scope of behavior.
