of the profession.

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.
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.

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.
,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
眼睛是人类最重要
status to the illegal conduct of his father. David could face a discipline hearing.
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.
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
眼睛是人类最重要
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.
The sentence "Kinesiologists are sensitive to the wishes of their patients/clients" is most
likely to be found in which of the following provisions?
i. The definition of incapacity.
ii. The definition of incompetence.
