Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Autonomy is the right to make decisions and to have the information necessary to make such decisions. Beneficence is doing good. Fidelity is keeping promises. Justice is treating everyone fairly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A stereotype is a mental image that portrays members of a specific group with the same attributes. Believing that heart disease is a man's disease is an example of a stereotype. Because the practitioner held this view, the woman's health care was compromised. The other statements cannot be justified from this example.
