Problem:
Bradley is a veterinarian who is faced with an ethical situation. He has a client who has brought in an energetic two-year-old Dalmatian, asking that he put the dog to sleep. Bradley tries to inquire about why, only to be told by the owner that she just doesn't have the energy to keep up with this dog's constant need for stimulation. She launches into all the damage the dog has done to her house since she's had him. She tells him that she's tried to find a home for the dog but has had no luck. She just wants to be done with it and tells Bradley that as the owner she gets to decide that he should be humanely euthanized. Which part of the Veterinary Oath would Bradley MOST likely call to mind when deciding whether to follow this client's request? Question 45 options: "I promise to use my skills through the protection of animal health." "I promise to use my skills to relieve animal suffering." "I promise to use my skills through conservation of livestock resources." "I promise to use my skills through the promotion of public health."
