Answer to Question 1

A
The steps in ethical decision making mirror those in the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

D
The patient needs to trust the new caregivers on the step-down unit. Introducing the new caregivers will help decrease his anxiety about an unfamiliar environment. Objectives must be realistic in expectation and timeline. Anxiety and fear of change will decrease the patient's cognitive level.
