COKO Professional Practice sample exam Q's (These
sample questions are from the COKO Jurisprudence
Handbook) Questions With Complete Solutions

What sentence best describes the roles of the College and
professional associations?
i. The College serves the public interest and the professional
associations serve the interests of the profession.
ii. The College and the professional associations both serve the
public interest.
iii. The College and the professional associations both serve the
interests of the profession.
iv. The professional associations direct the operations of the
College. correct answer: The best answer is i. The College's
mandate is to regulate the profession in order to serve and
protect the public interest. Answer 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? correct 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 correct 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? correct
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 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? correct

, 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? correct 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 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.
