Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The principle-based approach to ethics combines elements of both utilitarian and deontologic theories and offers specific action guides for practice. The Beauchamp and Childress principle-based approach to bioethics (2001) identifies four key principles: autonomy (promote self-determination), nonmaleficence (avoid causing harm), beneficence (benefit the patient), and justice (act fairly).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Values clarification is a process by which people come to understand their own values and value system. When nurses understand the values that motivate patients' decisions and behaviors, they can tap these values when teaching and counseling patients.
