Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Principles-based theories stress individual rights, such as autonomy. The client has the ability to make the decision, and it is his right to autonomy to do that. Trying to help the family understand the client's decision is an example of a caring-based theory in practice. Caring theories, or relationship theories, stress courage, generosity, commitment, and the need to nurture and maintain relationships. Caring theories promote the common good or the welfare of the group. Considering the client's condition and the outcome of treatment is an example of consequence-based reasoning, in which the nurse looks at the outcomes of the client's decision. The client's understanding of his decision and its consequences does not address the client's right to make a decision autonomously.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The ACA extends coverage, in some states, to the working poor who do not qualify for public assistance and whose employers do not offer health insurance. Under the ACA, a client cannot be denied coverage because of an existing condition. Insurance premiums should remain the same.
