Read the following passage and then answer questions 26 to 38.

A neurosurgeon has been suspended for opening up the head of the wrong patient in one of the worst cases of medical malpractice to become public at Moi Referral Hospital.

Two men had been wheeled into the facility unconscious last weekend. One needed brain surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain while the other only required medical attention to heal a trauma swelling in his head, medically known as closed head injury.

However, a horror mix-up of identification tags saw the wrong man wheeled into theatre and his skull opened. Doctors did not realise the mistake until hours into the surgery, when they discovered there was no blood clot in the brain of the man sprawled on the operating table.

They had cut open the head of the wrong patient in a dizzying case of medical malpractice that once again casts the spotlight on the country's biggest referral hospital.

The mix-up also raises questions about pre-surgery procedures in Kenyan hospitals, especially on how to ensure the right patient is operated at the right place. It also calls to question doctors' lack of commitment to their patients to ensure they receive the care they need to get well. The competence and organisation of the doctors is in question

The Daily Nation, which investigated the scandal since Wednesday, will not publish details of the patients out of respect for their privacy and because it was not clear yesterday If their families had been informed of the operation.

Last evening, hospital management threw out this report by dramatically having security guards escort her out of the premises for making enquiries about the incident.

In an effort to limit the damage following our enquiries, the hospital's chief operating officer Ms Lily issued a statement announcing the suspension of four medics who were at work on the fateful night. They included the neurosurgeon, the ward nurse, theatre receiving nurse and the anaesthetics.

"The management has suspended the admission rights of a neurosurgery registrar and issued him with a show-cause letter for apparently operating on the wrong patient," said Ms Lily.

The fact that Ms Lily was referring to the operation as "apparent" is probably an indication that the hospital was unwilling to publicly admit the error, and also that some of its procedures may have put the welfare of patients at risk.

26. The opening up the head of a wrong patient according to the first paragraph can best be termed as
    1. quite intentional

Tumaini is my best friend and neighbour. Her life was all in a mess due to insufficient finances in their family. Her problem always tormented my mind.

Due to financial instability, her family could not afford a basic need such as shelter. Luckily, her jobless father got employed as a casual worker. This raised optimism in the family and Tumaini felt relieved.

One day, father came home and asked his children to prepare for school. Everyone became jovial. Tumaini was subdued in looking for her school uniform when her father told her that she had to get married to his friend or remain a home girl.

The agony of dropping out of school at class seven greatly saddened Tumaini. She wept bitterly day and night. She tried to convince her parents how she longed for school but all these fell on deaf ears. The reality dawned on her when her father became a cold blooded beast and threatened to throw her out if she continued with her chronic wails.

With the knowledge gained from our child rights club, I came to reality with the denial of Tumaini's rights to education. I could not sit back and watch her being molested. I gathered courage and took the initiative to inform Tumaini's parents about her rights.

When I explained to them all the rights of children, and how much Tumaini needed education as her brothers did, they partly agreed and they became inquisitive about these rights issues. I showed them the "child magazine" which I had carried. With this, they came face to face with Tumaini's violated rights and promised to take her back to school.
