Answer to Question 1

D
Professional power is that which is conferred on members of a profession by one another and the
larger society to which they belong.

Answer to Question 2

D
Patient conditions are triaged according to their real or potential threats to a patient according to the ABCs (airway-breathing-circulation). Some conditions which would be top priority due to real or potential impact on airway and breathing are chest trauma, choking, and airway compromise. Conditions which impact circulation are cardiac arrest, shock, and hemorrhage. Conditions which are important but do not fall directly under the airway-breathing-circulation categories include hypoglycemia and child or elder abuse.
