Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. While the sick person is not responsible for recovery, it is the responsibility of the sick person to seek help, then follow the advice given concerning the illness in order to recover.
2. Staying away from others to prevent them from becoming ill is not an obligation of the person in the sick role, but if the person has a contagious illness, it would be common sense to limit interactions with others.
3. Following health orders to recover is among the expectations of the sick role, but following them blindly without asking questions is not.
4. Appearing sick is not an obligatory role of the sick.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. The sick person is exempted from the performance of certain normal social obligations, including work.

3. Being sick is being in need of help. Responsibilities of being a patient include complying with the prescribed medical regimen.
