Multiple Choice

Michael Davis | Professional Responsibility: Just Following the Rules?
Davis criticizes the view that professional responsibility goes beyond merely following the rules of one's code of ethics by necessarily involving certain character virtues. Rather, if a code of ethics is well-written, following these rules means that a professional is acting responsibly. He discusses seven different interpretations of "just following the rules": blind obedience, strict obedience, malicious obedience, negligent obedience, accidental obedience, stupid obedience, concluding with a positive discussion of interpretative obedience.
-According to Davies, a comprehensive interpretation of a professional code of ethics should include all but

• A) understanding the history of the profession.
• B) knowledge of the organizations in which members of the profession work
• C) understanding the purpose of the rules as applied to practice.
• D) an interpretation of each rule independently of the others.
