Answer to Question 1

C
Self-determination, or the right to make one's own health care decisions, and informed consent are grounded in the principle of autonomy. The belief that a physician knows what is best for the patient is known as paternalism, and the belief that every patient has a right to health care is the principle of justice (Options a, b, and d).

Answer to Question 2

B
Deontology judges actions based on motive or intent and is especially applicable to the field of research. Options a and c are not true of deontology.
