Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Autonomy refers to the right to make one's own decisions. The nurse is supporting this principle by supporting the client in his decision. Nonmaleficence is the duty to do no harm. Justice is often referred to as fairness. Beneficence means doing good.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Improving nursing care and establishing the profession's credibility are two goals of nursing research. The research project will probably change the normal routine of the client's care. Clients do not receive pay for participating in research. Nursing care is based on intuition and the experience of the nurse as well as research.
