Answer to Question 1

A
Patients have the right to refuse to take their medications. By mixing the medication with the patient's
applesauce, you would be violating the patient's right to autonomy. Autonomy involves respect for an
individual's right to self-determination and respect for individual liberty.

Answer to Question 2

a. Incorrect: Organizational ethics generally refers to administrative and management ethical issues.
b. Incorrect: Clinical ethics focuses on issues that arise for patients and health care providers in the provision of health care.
c. Incorrect: Bioethics refers to the ethics of biological and medical research and practice.
d. Correct: Research ethics refers to the policies on ethical review and monitoring of health care studies that are conducted within a health care organization. Some system of review of research proposals is established by organizations to ensure that such issues as consent, considerations of benefits and burdens, and scientific merit are addressed before approval to proceed with research is provided by an organization.
