Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Human dignity is respect for the inherent worth and uniqueness of individuals and populations. That is not the value described here.
Rationale 2: Social justice is upholding moral, legal, and humanistic principles. That is not the value described here.
Rationale 3: Autonomy is the right to self-determination, and professional practice reflects autonomy when the nurse respects patients' rights to make decisions about their health care. That is not the value described here.
Rationale 4: Altruism is a concern for the welfare and well-being of others. A professional behavior of this value is demonstrating the understanding of cultures, beliefs, and perspectives of others.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: A nurse can show respect for the family without respecting the decision of the parents.
Rationale 2: Autonomy is the right to self-determination, and professional practice reflects autonomy when the nurse respects patients' rights to make decisions about their health care.
Rationale 3: Referring the parents to another entity points to feelings of unease about the parents' choice.
Rationale 4: Asking to be assigned to another client does not honor the right of patients and families to make decisions about health care.
