Answer to Question 1

B
An ethical dilemma is when an ethically correct decision is not clear or when there is conflict between rights and duties. Nurses need to use the process of ethical reasoning, systematically evaluating what should be done based on principles.

Answer to Question 2

A
There is a direct relationship between calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Normal range of serum magnesium is 1.5 to 2.5 mEq/L. A level of 0.9 mEq/L is a decrease; therefore, all levels would be decreased.
