Answer:

d. All of the above.

Explanation:

There are a set of rules that help the clinician to determine if the patient needs X-rays, these rules are the Ottawa ankle rules, and they state that a patient with pain in the ankle may need radiography if he or she has any of the following symptoms: pain in the malleolar zone, bone tenderness on the tip lateral or the posterior edge of the medial malleolus, the one of the tibia, bone tenderness on the posterior edge or tip of the lateral malleolus, the one of the fibula, and lastly inability to bear weight on the injured ankle immediately and in the emergency department for a total of four steps.

If Diane has any of these symptoms, she qualifies for X-rays. Otherwise, they will not be of great use, and it will expose her to an unnecessary dose of radiation.

When a consumer is choosing from an array of possible physician groups and trades off one attribute
Igoryamba

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A compensatory decision-making strategy is an approach to decision-making process which typically involves weighing the negative and positive attributes of an alternative and allows the positive attributes to compensate for the negative attributes. Thus, it allows an attribute with a higher value to compensate for the attribute with a lesser value.

In this scenario, a consumer wants to choose from an array of possible physician groups and decided to trade off (compensate) one attribute of the group with another such as hours a physician group is open versus the number of physicians; a higher value in number of hours a physician is open compensates for number of physicians.

Hence, he or she is using a compensatory approach to decision making.
