Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Determining what is right for the patient must supersede personal influences or beliefs. The other sources may not be a good source for nurses to use when advising patient's families.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The ethics committee may be the best resource for providing advice to the family to make their decision. The other options may be a resource but the best choice would be the ethics committee, which incorporates all of the others.
