Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Beneficence is influenced when excessive attention to cost containment supersedes or impairs the nurse's duty to provide measures to improve health or relieve suffering. Autonomy is the indi-vidual's right to choose a provider. Veracity is truth telling which is important to building trust-ing relationships with clients. Nonmaleficence is doing no harm, which is addressed when incor-porating outcomes measures, evidence-based practice, and monitoring processes in plans of care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Justice calls for equal distribution of health care with reasonable quality. Autonomy is the indi-vidual's right to choose a provider. Beneficence is influenced when excessive attention to cost containment supersedes or impairs the nurse's duty to provide measures to improve health or re-lieve suffering. Nonmaleficence is doing no harm, which is addressed when incorporating out-comes measures, evidence-based practice, and monitoring processes in plans of care.
