Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The use of the value clarification process is helpful when assisting patients in making health care decisions regarding end-of-life care. Giving advice or telling patients what to do is unethical and not recommended. Ignoring a patient concern or changing the subject is inappropriate. Patients should be given factual information in order for them to make their own decisions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A values conflict occurs when a person's values are inconsistent with his or her behaviors or when the person's values are not consistent with the choices that are available. Providing care for a convicted murderer may elicit troubling feelings for a nurse, resulting in a values conflict between the nurse's commitment to care for all people and a personal repugnance for the act of murder. First-order beliefs serve as the foundation or the basis of an individual's belief system. Higher-order beliefs are ideas derived from a person's first-order beliefs, inductive, or syllogistic reasoning.
