Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
First, do no harm is the colloquial definition of nonmaleficence. Unlike beneficence, which requires actively doing good, nonmaleficence requires only the avoidance of harm. In its simplest form, beneficence can be defined as doing good. To do justice is to act fairly and equitably. Keeping promises or agreements made with others constitutes fidelity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The Code of Ethics for Nurses is a succinct statement of the ethical obligations and duties of every individual (not just nurse educators) who enters the nursing profession, the profession's nonnegotiable ethical standard, and an expression of nursing's own understanding of its commitment to society. This is a powerful mandate for all nurses to communicate and act professionally to prevent inflicting physical or emotional pain on others while pursuing nursing education and engaging in nursing practice.
