Best Answer

Assault : a threat or attempt to cause harm

For example: Telling a patient, "If you don't eat your breakfast, I'll make you stay in the chair all day."

Battery: purposeful, wrongful, touching without consent

Ethical treatment relies on implied consent as an agreement inferred by the client's cooperative behavior.
