Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Nurses as advocates must realize that they do not make ethical decisions for their clients. Rather, they facilitate clients' decision-making by interpreting findings, informing cliients of various aspects to be considered, helping clients verbalize and organize their feelings, calling in others involved in the decision making, and helping clients assess all their options in relation to their beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Many health care institutions have developed ethics committees whose functions include education, policymaking, case review, and consultation. These committees are multidisciplinary and provide a forum where divergent views can be discussed without fear of repercussion.
