Statement: A city hospital reports that a large share of its weekend emergency admissions are two-wheeler riders who were not wearing helmets. Courses of action: I. The hospital should refuse admission to injured riders who were not wearing a helmet.
II. Enforcement of the helmet rule should be stepped up and supported by a public awareness campaign. Which of the courses of action follows?

Competition practiceLogical / Critical
  • AOnly course of action II follows
  • BOnly course of action I follows
  • CBoth I and II follow
  • DNeither I nor II follows

Step-by-Step Solution

Course II works on the behaviour that produces the injuries, combining enforcement with persuasion, and so reduces the admissions at their source. Course I denies emergency care to injured people as a punishment, which is neither acceptable nor a way of preventing injuries, so it does not follow.
Answer: A) Only course of action II follows
