Answer to Question 1

B
A number of definitions and defining characteristics are related to professions. Some of these that are
held in general agreement: the body of specialized knowledge is continually developed and evaluated
by research, the members are self organizing and collectively establish standards for education (not
through a small group of experts), its members continually evaluate the quality of services provided to
protect individuals and the public, and it is an occupation that involves a unique practice that carries
individual responsibility and is based on theoretical knowledge.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E, F
Lippitt's phases of change include diagnosing the problem, assessing the motivation and capacity for
change, choosing an appropriate role for the change agent, and maintaining change after it has been
started. Choosing the solution is a step in Havelock's model. It is not suggested that eliminating the
routines and habits of people affected by the change should be eliminated. Incorporating the routines
and habits of those affected by the change would facilitate acceptance of the change.
