Answer to Question 1

C
As with all nursing functions, the first step is assessment. Option a is an ethical decision-making framework based on deontology. Option b reflects the theory of utilitarianism. Seeking the assis-tance of an ethics committee (Option d) would occur after assessment if the ethical dilemma cannot be resolved among the patient, family, and caregivers.

Answer to Question 2

C
Ethics is a branch of philosophy. Nursing, law, and medicine each have a Code of Ethics based on general ethical principles

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
