Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The nursing process of assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation can be applied to appropriately respond to many ethical dilemmas.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Although all of the options may affect your decision, moral decisions are guided by ethics, which are internal set of principles and values that guide the behavior of a person. Sharing medications prescribed to you with other people, including family members, would be considered unethical. It is important to distinguish ethics from law, religion, custom, and institutional practices. For example, the fact that an action is legal or customary does not in itself make the action ethically or morally right.
