Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In the deontologic theory, life must be maintained at all costs, regardless of quality of life. Approving a physician-assisted suicide, supporting the transplantation of fetal tissue and organs, and using experimental medications for the treatment of AIDS are examples of a utilitarian model.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Homeless teens are more likely to have poor eating habits, smoke, and have greater risks for preterm labor, anemia, and hypertension during pregnancy and to deliver a low-birth-weight (LBW) infant. Teaching about proper eating habits is the priority at this time. Naming the baby, risk factors associated with pregnancy, and information about employment are not the highest priorities to teach at this time.
