Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The steps of the ethical decision-making framework are to first identify the ethical issues and di-lemmas, then place them within a meaningful context, obtain all relevant facts, reformulate ethi-cal issues and dilemmas if needed, consider appropriate approaches to actions or options, make decisions and take action, and evaluate decisions and action. The nursing process involves the same basic steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Healthy Peo-ple 2010, deontology, and advocacy do not involve these multiple steps described by the ethical decision-making framework and the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Callahan offered perspectives on judging diversity and suggests a thoughtful tolerance and some degree of moral persuasion (not coercion) for ethnic groups to alter values so that they are more in keeping with what is normative in American culture. Providing care to different cultural groups should not produce an ethnicity conflict. Individual alignment with cultural norms would make it less likely that an ethnicity conflict would occur. Ethnic groups using the health care sys-tem will not cause it to be overburdened or result in an ethnicity conflict.
