Answer to Question 1

D
A high level of valuing is acting on one's belief. Autonomy is evident when the nurse helps patient weigh alternatives and their consequences before the patient makes a decision. Autonomy or self-determination is not the issue in any of the other behaviors.

Answer to Question 2
