Answer to Question 1

3
Utilitarian theory (part of teleology theory) means that the action must be of benefit to the greatest number of people affected by the action. Teleology is the evaluation of final causes (outcomes). Deontology is about one's moral duty and obligation and is most concerned not with the outcomes of an action but rather with the action. Justice is an ethical principle, not a theory.

Answer to Question 2

3
Beneficence requires that actions are of benefit to others even if the nurse must first cause harm (pain). Autonomy is self-rule that is free from controlling influence by others and from limitations such as inadequate understanding. Nonmaleficence means do no harm. Justice requires that cases are treated in like fashion.
