Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The term responsibility refers to the characteristics of reliability and dependability. In profession-al nursing, responsibility includes a duty to perform actions well and thoughtfully. When the nurse provides competent care, the nurse is demonstrating ethical responsibility. Formation of interpersonal relationships is not an ethical responsibility. Application of the nursing process is not an ethical responsibility. Evaluation of new computerized technologies is not an ethical re-sponsibility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The teacher is demonstrating prizing her choice. She cherishes her choice of being treated like everyone else despite her medical condition and publicly affirms the choice by teaching from a wheelchair and insisting she be treated the same as her colleagues. At this point, the teacher is not choosing from alternatives. She could have chosen to quit teaching, but she did not. She has al-ready made her choice. The teacher is not demonstrating considering all consequences. She has already made her choice. At this point, the teacher is not demonstrating acting with a pattern of consistency. She is not repeating a behavior.
