Answer to Question 1

A
The steps in ethical decision making mirror those in the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

D
The patient needs to trust the new caregivers on the step-down unit. Introducing the new caregivers will help decrease his anxiety about an unfamiliar environment. Objectives must be realistic in expectation and timeline. Anxiety and fear of change will decrease the patient's cognitive level.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
