Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Answer can include the following: (1) Without some basic recognition of the depth of thinking that goes into ethical decisions, a practitioner has few resources to deal with the conflict that may develop between personal value systems and daily occurrences within the profession of medicine; (2) questioning conflicts may lead to further exploration, education, and the development of different perspectives about an issue; or (3) in addition, the medical employee's family members, friends, and the community may look to a health care provider for insight into troubling ethical issues facing society. Listening skills and knowledge gained from personal investigation may help others understand.
