Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Veracity is the duty to tell the truth. Autonomy is the right to make one's own health care deci-sions. Beneficence is to do no harm. Justice is to treat all patients equally and is incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The wishes of the patient made prior to hospitalization and possible development of incompe-tence should direct the decisions of the health care team. Options B and D would be inappropri-ate to use. Option C if used without an advance directive, may not address the wishes of the pa-tient.
