Your Answer: B

Shared Context

- With regard to Lindquist's seat on the board of Western Inns, he violated: A) Standard VI(A): Disclosure of Conflicts, and Standard IV(B): Additional Compensation Arrangements. B) Standard VI(A): Disclosure of Conflicts, but not Standard IV(B): Additional Compensation Arrangements. C) no standards.

Question

Which of the following standards is most likely violated in Lindquist's use of his experimental version of the Midwestern model?

Answer Choices:

A. Standard I(C): Misrepresentation (plagiarism)

B. Standard V(A): Diligence and Reasonable Basis

C. Standard IV(C): Responsibilities of Supervisors

Explanation

Lindquist's experimental model is not part of the formal research process and has not been adequately researched or tested. So, Lindquist does not have a reasonable basis for his recommendations. Lindquist's supervisor is required to make reasonable efforts to detect and prevent violations of applicable laws and the Code and Standards, but cannot be held responsible for all of Lindquist's actions when there is deliberate deceit involved. Plagiarism is not relevant here, because Lindquist has permission to use the model, and is not misrepresenting the work of others as his own work. (Module 42.7, LOS 42: IV(B))
