Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: The client has the right to make personal decisions about types of care received. However, the nurse also has a responsibility to avoid harming the client. Therefore, the ethical conflict is between allowing the client to make care decisions for herself and not causing harm to the client. Justice is not applicable, as there is no question of fairness in this situation. Paternalism is not applicable, as there is no mention of the nurse doing gua sha without the client's permission.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

Rationale: The nurse is advancing both personal and professional growth by participating in a mission trip, making this interpretive statement the most applicable The nurse is not necessarily articulating nursing professional values or shaping social policy participating in the trip, so that interpretive statement is not most applicable. The statement  participates in the advancement of the profession  is not as applicable, since the nurse is not necessarily contributing to the practice, education, administration, or knowledge development of the nursing profession. In the scenario given, the nurse is not delegating, making that interpretive statement inapplicable.
