Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
For example, because of differences in role duty, a respiratory therapist might be ethically obliged not to tell a patient's family how critical the situation is, instead having the attending physician do so.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The two types of advanced directives currently available and relatively widely used are the living will and the durable power of attorney for health care.
