Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
We all have a personal value system developed over a lifetime that has been extensively shaped by our family, our religious beliefs, and our years of life experiences. Altruism is a core value of professional nursing. Cognitive dissonance refers to two conflicting values. Value intensity refers to the amount of an individual's commitment to values.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The utilitarian model is also known as the goal-based model, where the duties of the nurse are determined by what will achieve maximum welfare. In the human rights model, the client has basic rights, including the right to refuse care. In the duty-based model, rightness is determined by moral worth. The duty-based model is based on Kant's philosophy.
