Final answer:

Transporting a competent patient against her will is likely to lead to False Imprisonment charges, not battery, assault, or termination of care.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transporting a competent patient against her will could lead to charges of False Imprisonment. This occurs when someone is confined to a bounded area without any legal authority. Battery would involve unlawful and intentional touching of another person without consent. Assault would entail creating a reasonable fear of an imminent harmful or offensive contact. Lastly, termination of care is not a crime but rather a legal and ethical issue regarding the discontinuation of medical care without proper transfer of care to another healthcare provider.
