Answer to Question 1

C
Nonmaleficence is the ethical principle that focuses on avoidance of harm or hurt. The nurse must balance risks and benefits of care. Repeated PUBS may place the mother and fetus at risk for infection and increased pain, and may place the mother at risk for increased emotional health stress. Fidelity refers to the agreement to keep promises. Autonomy refers to freedom from external control, and beneficence refers to taking positive actions to help others.

Answer to Question 2

C
Teaching strategies include the use of past experiences to connect new learning with previous knowledge, focusing on a single topic to help the patient concentrate, giving the patient enough time in which to respond because older adults' reaction times are longer than those of younger persons, and keeping the tone of voice low; older adults are able to hear low sounds better than high-frequency sounds.
