Empirical Inquiry Ans✔✔-Empirical inquiry focuses on developing
empirical knowledge through observation and experiment, including
research and is aimed at developing theoretical and conceptual
understandings. The man is searching for an "objective truth" regarding
the use of this treatment to enhance his health. In this case an empirical
inquiry is most appropriate to this example.
ex: A middle aged male is considering taking a B12 supplement as he
has been reading, lately, that this is often lacking in men his age and
could benefit his health in various ways. The man asks his health
practitioner how he knows if this is the right health decision for him.
This is a sample of which mode of inquiry?
Ethical inquiry: Ans✔✔-focuses on clarifying values, commitments and
obligations. Ethical knowledge provides direction for decisions to
uphold values and obligations to which people are committed. In this
case, the health care team cannot simply over-ride the woman's wishes
based on her faith, even if it means her health may be in jeopardy. An
ethical inquiry would entail inviting in other opinions and looking at
empirical evidence related to ethical decision making.
