Answer to Question 1

D
Relativism is an ethical principle that concerns the use of no universal ethical standards. Nurse X's use of whatever you think is right, is right in his personal and professional decision making is a good example of this type of ethical principle. The ethical concept of beneficence relates to a duty to do good to others and maintain a balance between harms and benefits. Nonmaleficence is the ethical principle of doing no harm. Teleology believes that people must take actions that lead to good outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

D
The ethical concept of deontology concerns actions and behaviors that are based on moral rules and unchanging principles. The phrase Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is a good example of this type of thinking. According to the ethical principle of teleology, people should take actions that lead to good outcomes. Beneficence is the duty to do good to others and maintain a balance between benefits and harms. Justice and equality deal with unbiased decision making and the selection of the action that is fair to all.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
