Answer to Question 1

c

a. Incorrect: There is always a need to monitor a workplace environment to ensure that its activities are ethical.
b. Incorrect: Either a clinical ethicist or bioethicist may be on staff to work with health care professionals, patients, and families to address issues and provide support for decision making in difficult situations.
c. Correct: A workplace that promotes a positive ethical climate has an ethical framework in place that defines the formal processes for managing ethical issues, and includes a process for reviewing the ethics of research conducted in the organization.
d. Incorrect: An ethics framework is important in the workplace, but this is only one of the aspects required in providing a positive ethical climate for employees, in addition to having a Code of Ethics, ethics committees, ethics education, and a clinical ethicist on staff.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nursing student should conduct a search using CINAHL or MEDLINE. Scientific and research
information usually require literature resources that can be found in databases such as CINAHL or
MEDLINE. Asking a teacher, nurses in the clinical area, or a friend will most likely only provide
limited information.
