Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
Autonomy means being free to choose. The statement, I wish I knew for sure that I had all the facts about the treatment, suggests that the patient may not have had all the relevant facts. The statement, My son told me emphatically what he thought would be best for the family, suggests undue influence from the family. Thinking through all the facts is part of autonomous decision making, as is acting on one's personal decision.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Beneficence means to do good. It also involves preventing harm, removing harm, and putting the patient's interests first.
