Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Civility (i.e., acting politely) is essential in all interactions among faculty and nursing students. Respectful interaction between students and faculty members establishes professional communication patterns and affects the way in which students interact with patients. Nurse educators and students report instances of incivility in the education setting. Faculty members report student behaviors such as tardiness, inattentiveness (e.g., texting during class), disrespectful remarks, and more aggressive offenses. Students report being belittled or treated with disrespect by clinical staff, instructors, or classmates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Autonomy, or self-determination, is the freedom to make decisions supported by knowledge and self-confidence. Truthfulness defines the ethical concept of veracity. Supporting or promoting the interests of others or to do so for a cause greater than ourselves defines advocacy. To do justice is to act fairly and equitably. First, do no harm is the colloquial definition of nonmaleficence. Unlike beneficence, which requires actively doing good, nonmaleficence requires only the avoidance of harm. Confidentiality is the ethical concept that limits sharing private patient information.
