What is autonomy and how does it apply in healthcare administration?
Autonomy relates to the freedom to act according to one’s own will. It pertains self-rules or self-governance. An example of autonomy would be when a doctor allows a patient to make health decisions based on their own ideas, values and beliefs. It allows patients to decide if they want westernized medication or more holistic natural treatments

What is the process of abstraction or the abstraction process?
Abstraction process is something that Korzybski talks about within general semantics. He believes people tend to leave out specific information through the abstraction process. It is the confirmation and recognition of common features. One can abstract ideas from their head about specific details of a workflow.
Event: Something Happens
Object: You sense what happens
Description: Recognize what happens
Inferences: Create meanings for what happens
In DSRP, what is a perspective? Use the abstraction process to provide your example.
In DSRP, the perspective is the point of view. An example is teaching syles. Some students may hate a professors teaching style others love and excel with that same professors teaching style. Depends on how you perceive the professors teaching style.
Fear/anxiety
Differing opinions
Professor options that semester
