Below is a scenario.  Take a moment to read it. After you read it I will describe several possible actions that Tonya could take. 
David and Tonya are both advisors who talk sometimes.  David tells Tonya that he has two clients who are husband and wife who have decided to implement his recommendation to purchase life insurance.  David and his clients have been working on this together for several months and there were some tensions because the clients felt that the paper work was not moving fast enough. But now the paperwork was complete and the $400,000 check had been given to David.  Getting ready to submit everything, David notices that both the clients failed to put their initials on one line and he knows that the clients have been bothered by all the paper work, and that they want the transaction done before they go on vacation.  David knows that the business will not be accepted by the home office without the initials.  When Tonya asks David what he did, David tells her that the he was afraid the clients would walk away if he had to bother them again, so he initialed for both of them on the one missing spot. 
Now you will read about 6 actions that Tonya could have taken.  

For each action, you will be asked to guess how most other people rated the action.  That is, you will have to decide whether most people thought the action was “very ethically inappropriate,” “somewhat ethically inappropriate,” “somewhat ethically appropriate,” or “very ethically appropriate.” 

By “ethically inappropriate,” I mean an action that is “inconsistent with the moral or ethical standards that are appropriate for the setting,” and by “ethically appropriate” I mean an action that is “consistent with the moral or ethical standards that are appropriate for the setting.”

Ok!  Let's see the actions you are going to rate!

Here is the action that Tonya could take: 

-Tonya tells David she doesn’t think that initialing for them was the right thing to do.
-She says that she doesn’t want David to do that again or she will have to report him to a compliance officer. 
-She does not report him to a compliance officer.
