Answer to Question 1

C
The ethical principle of beneficence concerns the duty to do good to others and to maintain a balance
between benefits and harms. Examples of this would be to provide all patients with caring attention
and to treat everyone with respect and courtesy. Nonmaleficence concerns the principle of doing no
harm, and veracity deals with the obligation to tell the truth.

Answer to Question 2

C
Ethical dilemmas consist of conflict (disagreement or argument) between at least two ethical
principles. There are no correct answers for ethical dilemmas, but there are a variety of possible
solutions. Ethical situations are those in which the question of ethics (right and wrong) comes into
play, but they are not necessarily dilemmas. Bioethics are ethics that are specifically related to health
care, and ethics, itself, is a branch of philosophy concerned with the distinction between right and
wrong based upon a body of knowledge, not just opinions.
