Answer to Question 1

2. The nurse provides a terminally ill client a meal that includes food that he should avoid but requested.

Rationale:
Morality refers to issues that are either right or wrong. In the situations provided, the nurse who provides a terminally ill client a meal with food that he should avoid but requested would demonstrate a conflict with morality. The nurse is going against the right decision, which would be to not provide the client with the foods; however, the client is terminally ill and is requesting foods that he enjoys. The other situations would not involve the same question of morality.

Answer to Question 2

D
Meats are high in saturated fatty acids. Flour, bread crumbs, and coating could contain high levels of trans-fatty acids which negatively impact cholesterol levels. Butter is also high in saturated fatty acids. The best instruction the nurse could provide to this patient would be to suggest fresh fruits for dessert.
