CASPer Exam with Verified SolutionsWhat is your approach to working with someone whose values are vastly different from your
own. CORRECT ANS-(personal)
My approach to working with someone whose beliefs are vastly different from my own is to
listen, try to empathize, which opens up the dialogue and makes it easier to find a common
ground.
My roommate was skeptical about masks and social-distancing during COVID-19, and by
listening to his reasons, I was able to find house rules that we would both agree upon that
would keep us both safe and allow his right to autonomy while sharing common space.
informed consent CORRECT ANS-requires the patient or client to understand the proposed
procedure, details, possible alternatives, risk and complications, and consequences of doing
nothing.
Working with difficult people. CORRECT ANS-I believe the difficulty is in the relationship,
not simply the person. There were a couple of patients who would frequently show up in the
ED that would frustrate many of the clinicians. Whenever I would work with these patients, I

would check my frustration and bias before going into the room. Once I'm in there with the
patient, I have a clear agenda and set boundaries with them. I always take the time to listen
to their concerns and empathize with their situation. These strategies have helped me many
times and my conversations with them have usually been positive and fruitful.
I usually get along with most of my coworkers and bosses. When I was working as a student
on the campus library, I had a difficult time while working with another student worker. His
unfriendly behavior was lowering my overall job satisfaction and performance. I pulled him
aside one day after work and told him how his behavior was making me feel. Surprisingly, he
apologizes, saying that he was overwhelmed with schoolwork, which was affecting his
behavior at work. After that, he was friendlier and I was more understanding.
Describe your leadership style. CORRECT ANS-(personal)
As a leader, I prefer to be engaged and communicative with my team members. When I was
on the Philanthropy Committee in my sorority, I kept open communication with my members,
allowing me to address issues before they become major problems. For example, I realized a
couple of my members were having trouble meeting deadlines because of their academic
workload, and by reaching out to them, I was able to reassign their tasks to other members
who were interested in more responsibility.

Describe a situation when you had to say no to a friend's request for help. CORRECT ANS-
(personal)
As an EMT, my friends have come to me for medical help and information. I usually try to help
them to the best of my abilities, when appropriate and within my scope of practice.
However, there have been some cases when I refuse to give them advice, such as mixing
medications, because I believe it is out of my purview and unethical for me to advise them. In
these cases, I tell them to ask their doctor or pharmacist
What do you think is the significance of the statistic presented in the first sentence, that
though 86% of people know that excess salt consumption is bad for their health, only 53% of
them actually consider salt content when making food choices? CORRECT ANS-(Personal,
critical thinking)
The statistic alludes to the fact that individuals do not always act upon their knowledge.
There are confounding factors to behavior, such as environmental, cultural, and psychological.
However, I would hesitate to support this statistic before doing more research into how they
got these numbers.

In countries where the provision of health care services is subsidized by the government, do
you think that governments should be able to prevent access to substances known to cause
chronic disease? Why or why not? CORRECT ANS-(policy)
By preventing access to substances known to cause chronic diseases, governments may help
their citizens live long, healthy lives by reducing chronic diseases, increasing quality of life,
and decreasing overall healthcare spending. However, this also limits personal choice and
may marginalize those choosing to practice this behavior for personal reasons. Instead of
outright prohibition, governments can gradually limit access, such as the UK did with sugar
and the US did with cigarettes by enforcing taxes.
Processed meat has been found to be a carcinogen in humans, putting it in the same class as
smoking cigarettes. As a public health official, what steps would you take when considering a
ban on processed meats in your community? CORRECT ANS-(Ethical dilemma, policy)
As a public health official, I would do more research into the effects on the health of the
public. My main concern is the health of the general public, the limitations of my office, and
individuals' right to autonomy. If the risk to the public is great and warrants intervention, I
would see if the manufactures could look into making it healthier. If not, then I would
consider a partial ban, by enforcing taxes or an educational initiative. I would not consider a
