Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Stereotyping is a cognitive barrier to critical thinking because it interferes with the ability to treat a client as an individual. Critical thinkers recognize that priorities change continually. Being open minded is the ability to consider alternatives. Being flexible is a bridge to critical thinking, not a barrier.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The decision to deny expensive treatments or to deny acute care to clients older than a certain age because of scarce treatment resources is an example of the concept of distributive justice. A famous baseball player who receives a heart transplant could be an example of the concept of social worth. A client demanding antibiotics for his cold during a physician's office visit is an example of the concept of unnecessary treatment. A client who suffers from cirrhosis and who is placed on a transplant list is an example of justice, being fair or impartial.
