Quiz :What sentence best describes the roles of the College and professional
associations?
i. The College serves the public interest and the professional associations serve
the interests of the profession.
ii. The College and the professional associations both serve the public interest.
iii. The College and the professional associations both serve the interests of the
profession.
iv. The professional associations direct the operations of the College. -
√Answer :The best answer is i. The College's mandate is to regulate the
profession in order to serve and protect the public interest. Answer ii is not the
best answer because professional associations are designed to serve the
interests of their members. While professional associations care about the
public interest and often take actions that assist the public interest, they are
under no statutory duty to do so and are accountable only to their members.
Answer iii is not the best answer because the College is not permitted to serve
the interests of its members under its statute. While it tries to ensure that it
regulates its members sensitively and fairly, and consults with its members, the
,College's mandate is the public interest. Answer iv is not correct. While the
College consults with the professional associations and considers seriously
their views and respects their expertise, the College is not under the control of
any professional association.
Quiz :Ethics Scenario:
David, a kinesiologist, is always polite to his patients/clients, in a formal way.
He feels good about himself. However, he often says "God" to express surprise.
The phrase means nothing to him and no one has ever expressed concerns
about it. One of his patients/clients, Paul, has shared that he is very religious.
Whenever David says "God" Paul flinches a bit. What should David do? -
√Answer :David notices and asks Paul if the use of the word "God" bothers
Paul. Paul says that, actually it does. David makes a point of not saying "God"
anymore in front of Paul. After discussing the incident with a colleague, David
decides that the ethical thing for him to do is to stop using the word "God" as
an expression of surprise whenever he is with a patient/client because David
cannot tell in advance who will be offended. This relates to the Code of Ethics
that kins must follow.
Quiz :Discontinuing Professional Services Scenario - √Answer :Donna, a
kinesiologist, wants to stop treating a patient/client because the patient/client
has stopped paying. She reads an article in the College's newsletter suggesting
that patients/clients should be given at least two weeks to find a new
kinesiologist before one stops treating the patient/client. Donna cannot see
why she needs to see a patient/client who is not paying for her services and
does not follow the newsletter suggestion. The patient/client experiences pain
once the treatment stops and misses ten days of work before the
patient/client can find another kinesiologist to treat him. The patient/client
complains to the College. After investigating the complaint the College requires
Donna to appear before it to receive a verbal caution because Donna
abandoned a patient/client who was in pain without giving the patient/client
adequate time to find another kinesiologist. The fact that Donna was not paid
did not remove her duty to the patient/client who was in pain.
Quiz :David, a kinesiologist, is registered with the College. David's father is no
longer registered with the College. David's father sometimes drops into David's
office to treat his former long term patients/clients. The office assistant refers
to David's father as "Doctor" when booking patients/clients. A patient/client
complains to the College when her extended health insurance refused to pay
for David's father's services because he was unregistered. Is David at risk for
, his father's conduct? - √Answer :The answer is yes. It is professional
misconduct to permit a person to hold themselves out as practising the
profession when they are not registered. Similarly, permitting a person to
illegally use the title "Doctor" in one's practice would often be seen as
professional misconduct if David knew about it. David condoned the conduct
that occurred at David's office. David, by being registered, gave credibility and
status to the illegal conduct of his father. David could face a discipline hearing.
Quiz :Donna, a kinesiologist, does not really assess her patients/clients. She
just asks the patient/client what is wrong and then gives all of them exactly the
same treatment. A patient/client, Paula, came in with a serious condition.
Donna did not recognize it. Paula's condition worsened. Donna still did not
recognize it. After three months Paula went to the emergency department of
the hospital and was immediately diagnosed and treated correctly. What is this
a case of? - √Answer :This is an Incompetence Scenario. Paula complained to
the College about Donna's incompetence. The Inquiries, Complaints and
Reports Committee looked at Donna's records and heard Donna's explanation
for what she had done. It sent the case to discipline. The Discipline Committee
agreed that Donna showed a lack of knowledge, skill and judgment. It ordered
Donna to participate in specific upgrading courses aimed at assessment.
Quiz :David, a kinesiologist, has been drinking a lot more alcohol the last few
months. He has been coming to work with a hangover. More recently he has
been drinking at lunch. One day David comes back after lunch drunk. Paul, a
patient/client, notices that David smells of alcohol and that David is stumbling
around the office. What is this a case of? - √Answer :This is an Incapacity
Scenario.
Paul tells the College. At first David denies he has a problem. However, during
the investigation, the College learns that some of David's colleagues have
noticed a significant change in David's behaviour in recent months. The College
also learned that David has been charged with impaired driving. The College
sends David to a medical specialist who diagnoses David with a serious
substance abuse disorder. The College encourages David to go for treatment at
a treatment centre in his area. David agrees. The matter is referred to the
Fitness to Practise Committee. David and the College agree to an order
requiring David to stop drinking, attend Alcoholics Anonymous group meetings,
see his new substance abuse specialist regularly and have a colleague watch
David at work and send regular reports to the College.
