Answer to Question 1

A
Nurses going on strike is an example of treating humanity as an end rather than a means; professionally, nurses have an obligation to provide safe care to our clients. If understaffing interferes with that, the deontologist says we must act on the basis of our obligations. Diverting funds to establish a medically underserved group and doctors providing care for clients who have no money are examples of utilitarian thinking.
