Answer to Question 1

B
Nonmaleficence is defined as the principle of doing no harm. Fidelity is the principle of promise keeping. Beneficence is the duty to do good to others and to maintain balance between benefits. Justice is the principle of fairness that is served when an individual is given that which he or she is due, owed, deserves, or can legitimately claim.

Answer to Question 2

A
According to Maslow's hierarchy of human needs, physiological needs must be met first. In this case, the patient's severe toothache should be a priority.
