Answer to Question 1
A
Autonomy is the right of people to make their own decisions, i.e., the right to self-determination. As nurses, our responsibility is to provide the patients with the information they need to make their own health care decisions. This process needs to be objective so the nurse does not project his or her opinions into the decision-making process.
Answer to Question 2
B
