Answer to Question 1

C
Utilitarianism uses potential consequences to judge whether actions produce the greatest good. Options a and d are true of Kantian ethics. The nursing instructor asks the nursing student to ex-plain culturally competent care in nursing.

Answer to Question 2

C
Autonomy refers to the patient's right to refuse treatment and to make one's own decisions re-garding health care. Justice, beneficence, and fidelity refer to fairness, doing no harm, and truth-telling, respectively.
