Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Central to the principle of fidelity is respecting words and duties to patients, such as following up when promised. The nurse's actions are less indicative of deficits in beneficence, veracity (since he did not overtly lie to the patient), or justice.

Answer to Question 2

A
Because the intrinsic factor is not available to combine with B12, transport of this necessary vitamin to the ileum is prevented.
