Answer 1

1. After a diagnosis is made, the first questions typically are “Is the patient’s condition treatable?” and “Is the patient a suitable candidate for treatment?” Fortunately, effective and safe medications are available for many diseases and conditions. In many circumstances, physicians recommend treatment even if symptoms are mild and even if it’s likely that the condition might resolve without any action. Thus, doctors tend to “overtreat” symptoms, often to meet patients’ expectations. After a physician decides to treat a patient, the next step is to prescribe a specific medication out of many possible choices. The physicians must determine whether the benefit-harm balance of a medication applies to individual patients, and they often rely on medications they are most familiar with. There are nearly 2,000 medications with different active ingredients on the market in the U.S., and no physician could possibly remember how all of them work, what their recommended doses are or what their potential adverse effects may be. Since many medications (containing the same generic compound) may be manufactured by different companies (and sold under different brand names), and since many medications are available in different dosage forms, the number of marketed products is much higher (more than 10,000). The doctor’s selection is not entirely objective; it is not based solely on scientific facts. It should, however, be reassuring to patients that the most commonly prescribed medications for a given disease or condition have more similarities than dissimilarities. Two additional factors that influence physicians’ prescribing habits are patients’ desires and the cost of a particular medication.

2. Developing an approach to policy that values different and multiple teacher characteristics based on the research evidence may prove promising. It is important to note that many personal characteristics important for a good teacher are not measured in the studies reviewed.

Education policymakers and administrators would be well served by recognizing the complexity of the issue and adopting multiple measures along many dimensions to support existing teachers and to attract and hire new, highly qualified teachers. The research suggests that investing in teachers can make a difference in student achievement. In order to implement needed policies associated with staffing, every classroom even the most challenging ones with high-quality teachers, substantial and targeted investments must first be made in both teacher quality and education research.

Education is the compilation and product of many and varied resources. Among these, teachers stand out as a key to realizing the high standards that are increasingly emphasized.

The willingness of .policy makers and taxpayers to devote such a large proportion of education dollars to teachers highlights the undisputed importance of teachers in realizing educational goals. A number of researchers have argued that teacher quality is a powerful predictor of student performance. In her analysis of teacher preparation and student achievement.

4, Buying Behavior is the decision processes and acts of people involved in buying and using products.

for example after getting an consultation from a skin specialist for the first time and not satisfied with the consultation and ask regarding the opinions among the different doctors among the patients regarding the doctors and getting the answers that another doctor is good for treating this type of disease,then they or the (consumers) may think that really want to consult with the other doctor instead of this.

Types of consumer buying behavior are determined by their experience and way of thinking

Inexperience buyers often use prices as an indicator of quality more than its experience

5. Surely this type of behaviors is important for each and everyone in their personal life. Why because its a part of the business that all want the profit and no one wants the loss, even the organization, and the consumers
