Answer to Question 1

A
Ethics provides a framework for determining the right course of action in a particular situation. An ethical dilemma occurs when two or more ethical principles are in conflict and there is no obviously correct decision. Justice is an ethical principle of fairness. A moral dilemma occurs when there is a conflict between personal or religious beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

B
Research conducted by the Ethics Research Center concluded that senior leadership is the most critical factor in promoting an ethical culture within a health care organization. It is felt that if positive outcomes are desired within the organization, an ethical culture will make the difference.
