Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients have the right to make decisions about their health care. The tuberculosis patient cannot refuse to wear a mask because of the risk to many people. The other options do not apply because these are family members.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Veracity is the principle of telling the truth. Nurses are obligated to report unsafe care practices. The other principles do not apply.
