Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Bioethics applies the knowledge and processes of ethics to the examination of ethical problems in health care. Values are beliefs about the worth or importance of what is right or esteemed. Moral-ity is shared and generational societal norms about what constitutes right or wrong conduct. Eth-ics is a branch of philosophy that includes both a body of knowledge about the moral life and a process of reflection for determining what persons ought to do or be regarding this life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Florence Nightingale saw nursing as a call to service and viewed the moral character of persons entering nursing as important. Florence Nightingale did not set up public health centers. Florence Nightingale did not believe that nurses must adhere to society's view of ethical principles. Ethical beliefs are based on the values of the individual nurse, not ethical principles.
