Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The student is violating confidentiality. Confidentiality is violated when patients are identified by name on written documents available to those who are not directly responsible for their care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The increasing awareness of how difficult it is to make valued and scarce health resources available to all in need has resulted in a new appreciation for the moral relevance of cost-effectiveness. Balance between benefits and harms in patient care relates to reasoning about the benefits or burdens of treatment and the related harms; in this scenario, both children's risk and benefits may be the same. Norms of family life relate to the ways a client's illness impacts family members and significant others; not enough information is provided to know how this ethical principle applies in this scenario. Considerations of power relates to abuse of power by clinicians; this scenario does not present information suggesting this is occurring.
