1. The facility you work for wants to pilot a program to allow parents to choose the sex of their child, and has scheduled an open forum meeting for hospital staff and physicians. The physicians are in favor of this action and the staff is opposed. You were selected to speak for the staff and the topic is Genetic Modification of Human Beings: Is it Acceptable? How would you prepare for the forum and what information would you want to have? How would you utilize your critical thinking skills when asked questions?
2. A doctor has decided to buy lunch for his office staff. The receptionist has been asked by the doctor to run across the street and pick up their lunch, because the restaurant does not provide delivery. On her way to pick up the lunch, in the office parking lot, the receptionist trips on a pot hole and twists her ankle. The doctor told the receptionist to not clock out since she is conducting business for the office. Once the doctor hears of the receptionist's injuries, the doctor encourages her to use her private insurance to cover medical cost. Should the receptionist file a Workers' Compensation claim or use her private insurance? Explain and justify your answer.
