The answer is the third one: Duty to act.

Explanation for each option:

  • Breach of duty: This term refers to a failure to meet the standard of care which can result in harm to a patient. It is not related to the obligation to respond to an emergency.

  • Mandatory reporting: This involves the legal requirement to report certain information, such as child abuse or infectious diseases, to authorities. It is not related to the obligation to respond to an emergency.

  • Duty to act: This is the correct answer. It refers to the legal obligation of emergency responders, such as ambulance personnel, to provide care and respond to emergencies when dispatched.

  • Scope of practice: This term defines the procedures, actions, and processes that a healthcare practitioner is permitted to undertake in keeping with the terms of their professional license. It is not related to the obligation to respond to an emergency.

In summary, the obligation to respond to an emergency when dispatched is known as the "duty to act."
