Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This is an example of a negative style question. Haphazardly seeking solutions is correct because a characteristic of a critical thinker is to systematically seek solutions, not to haphazardly seek solutions. All of the other options are characteristics of a critical thinker.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Moral distress results when the nurse knows what is right but is bound to do otherwise because of legal or institutional constraints. Paternalism is making decisions for clients based on what is thought best for them. Cognitive dissonance occurs when there are two conflicting values. Nonmaleficence is avoiding actions that bring harm to another person.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
