Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale: Withholding and refusal of treatment is an ethical issue involving the life and quality of life of the child.Normalization is a family process of adaptation as the family copes with daily life with their child.Lack of dietary needs is not an ethical issue,nor is repeated hospital admissions.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: As the eggs of older women age, their fertility is reduced.
Rationale 2: The age of the onset of menses is not a significant factor.
Rationale 3: The patient's employment as a dental hygienist does not affect fertility.
Rationale 4: Strenuous exercise can affect fertility, but 2 miles of jogging daily is not enough to cause a problem.
