Answer to Question 1

D
Relativism is an ethical principle that concerns the use of no universal ethical standards. Nurse X's use of whatever you think is right, is right in his personal and professional decision making is a good example of this type of ethical principle. The ethical concept of beneficence relates to a duty to do good to others and maintain a balance between harms and benefits. Nonmaleficence is the ethical principle of doing no harm. Teleology believes that people must take actions that lead to good outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

D
The ethical concept of deontology concerns actions and behaviors that are based on moral rules and unchanging principles. The phrase Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is a good example of this type of thinking. According to the ethical principle of teleology, people should take actions that lead to good outcomes. Beneficence is the duty to do good to others and maintain a balance between benefits and harms. Justice and equality deal with unbiased decision making and the selection of the action that is fair to all.
