Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Beneficence refers to taking positive actions to help others, as in providing emergency care at an accident scene. Triage is the screening and classification of casualties to make optimal use of treatment resources and to maximize the survival and welfare of clients. Nonmaleficence is the avoidance of harm or hurt. Respect for persons has to do with treating people equally despite their social standing, for example.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Ethics committees serve as a resource to support the processing of ethical dilemmas. Ethics com-mittees serve several purposes: education, policy recommendation, and case consultation or re-view. Although an ethics committee may gather further information, ethics committees do not interview all persons involved in a case. Rather, they offer consultation or case review. Illustrat-ing circumstances that demonstrate malpractice is not a purpose of an ethics committee. Examin-ing similar previous instances for comparison of outcome decisions may be part of data gathering to help process an ethical dilemma or for policy recommendation, but it is not the purpose of an ethics committee.
