Answer to Question 1

D
Veracity is an ethical principle that concerns telling the truth. Admitting to mistakes promptly and offering to do whatever is necessary to correct them is an example of veracity. Being first in line, volunteering to work overtime, and having a great deal to do are related to time management and organization, but are not necessarily concerned with telling the truth.

Answer to Question 2

C
The ethical principle of beneficence concerns the duty to do good to others and to maintain a balance between benefits and harms. Examples of this principle would be to provide all patients with caring attention and to treat everyone with respect and courtesy. Nonmaleficence concerns the principle of doing no harm. Veracity deals with the obligation to tell the truth.
