Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Keeping promises or agreements made with others constitutes fidelity. In nursing, fidelity is essential for building trusting relationships with patients and their families. Following through on promises is a critical factor in establishing strong professional relationships with patients and their families. Autonomy, or self-determination, is the freedom to make decisions supported by knowledge and self-confidence. Accountability is the willingness to accept responsibility for one's actions. Confidentiality is the ethical concept that limits sharing private patient information.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In its simplest form, beneficence can be defined as doing good. Nurses demonstrate beneficence by acting on behalf of others and placing a priority on the needs of others rather than on personal thoughts and feelings. The ethical concept of beneficence necessitates providing care for the prisoner without reproach. Nurses are required by beneficence to provide compassionate care for all people in all circumstances. Supporting or promoting the interests of others or doing so for a cause greater than ourselves defines advocacy. Confidentiality is the ethical concept that limits sharing private patient information. Autonomy, or self-determination, is the freedom to make decisions supported by knowledge and self-confidence.
