If a kinesiologist is selected for a peer and practice assessment, the kinesiologist
should:
,i. Cooperate with the practice assessor's review, including permitting the assessor to
inspect his or her office and upon request, provide any requested records.
ii. Permit the practice assessor to inspect his or her home.
iii. Give the assessor all records except those that are confidential.
iv. Complete all required professional development records and fill in gaps in client
records before sending them to the practice assessor.

The best answer is i. Kinesiologists have a duty to cooperate with peer and
practice assessments. Answer ii is the not best answer because practice
assessors are not permitted to enter private homes. Answer iii is not the
best answer because the practice assessor's right to access premises and
records overrides patient/client confidentiality. Answer iv is not the best
answer because while a practice assessment is a good opportunity to
improve record keeping and other practices, a kinesiologist should always
update client records immediately so that they are accurate. Kinesiologists
should never wait until they are selected for an assessment to update their
records. Additionally, if records are falsified, the Committee may report the
kinesiologist's name and this allegation to the Inquiries, Complaints and
Reports Committee.
Controlled Acts Scenario No. 3

David, a kinesiologist, has a plate of cookies in his waiting room. Paul a
patient/client eats one and goes into anaphylactic shock. David is called
into the room. David recalls that Paul has a peanut allergy and realizes that
the cookies may have peanuts in them. David looks in Paul's briefcase and
finds an EpiPen containing a measured dose of epinephrine. David injects
the epinephrine into Paul's muscle and calls 911. Paul recovers. While David
did perform a controlled act not authorized to him (administering a drug
by injection), he did so under an emergency which is a recognized
exception to the controlled acts rule.
,Consent Scenario No. 4
David, a kinesiologist, proposes a procedure for his patient/client Paul. Paul does not
understand the proposed procedure at all. He is clearly incapable. David knows that
Paul appointed his friend Pat to be his power of attorney for personal care. Pat is
going to inherit Paul's money when Paul dies. Paul has a lot of money. Paul is going to
die within a few months. The proposed procedure is simple and painless, would make
the patient/client more comfortable through a difficult illness and has little risk of
harm. David is convinced that Pat is refusing to consent to the treatment in order to
inherit more money (even though treatment is not very expensive). The rest of Paul's
family is very upset because they want Paul to receive the treatment. What should
David do?

David, a kinesiologist, is sued in Small Claims Court by a patient/client, Paul.
Paul claims that he told David about pain in his lower abdomen but that
David attributed those symptoms to stress. After two weeks of supportive
treatment for the stress, despite increasing pain, Paul went to the
emergency department. Paul was rushed into surgery for appendicitis and
stayed in the hospital for almost a week. Paul claims David should have
referred David to another health care provider to rule out appendicitis
before treating the symptoms as purely stress related. The Small Claims
Court judge agreed and ordered David to pay Paul $10,000 for his
malpractice. David reports the finding to the College. The College places a
note about the finding on the public register.

David, a kinesiologist, has a patient/client from a Mediterranean culture
who brings food for every visit. David thanks her, but tries not to treat it as
an expectation. On one visit David happens to mention his home-made
pizza recipe. The patient/client insists that David bring it over to her house
for Thanksgiving. David politely declines, giving the patient/client a written
recipe instead. The patient/client stops bringing in food, is less friendly
during visits and starts missing appointments. David did not do anything
wrong, in this scenario, but it shows the confusion that can occur with a
patient/client when the boundaries start to be crossed.

Donna, a Kinesiologist, has started up her own rehabilitation clinic. Donna
receives a referral from a GP for one of his more challenging patients,
Paula, who was involved in a Motor Vehicle Accident three years earlier
and has not responded well to the treatment she has received. Paula was
seen by a physiatrist who completed a normal physical assessment and had
a cervical recumbent MRI completed. The physiatrist has continually
recommended cervical muscular strengthening with ROM stretching that
has been carried out by a physiotherapist. Paula reports feeling much
worse after rehabilitation treatments and insists that her pain and
dysfunction have had little to no improvement over the years of treatment.
Her physiatrist wants her to continue with the exercise regimen.
Donna completes her own physical assessment and declines to complete
the physiatrist's suggested exercise regimen. Donna convinces Paula's GP
to obtain a set of lateral stress X-rays. Donna understands that a static
recumbent MRI would be unable to detect these dynamic lateral stress X-
ray findings and also suggests that it was time to obtain an Upright Weight
Bearing MRI. She sent Paula back to the physiatrist with the findings of the
lateral stress X-rays and the suggestion to obtain the UWB MRI. The
