Ethical dilemmas are puzzling moral problems in which a person, group, or community can envision morally justified reasons for both taking and not taking a certain course of action. An example of an ethical dilemma is:
 
  1. Whether or not to set up a community health center in a rural area
  2. Allocating resources in a natural disaster
  3. Deciding to withdraw care on a hospice patient
  4. Applying the principles of Florence Nightingale in Bangladesh

Question 2

For decades many women used hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Current research on HRT has found that HRT:
 
  1. Did not prevent heart disease
  2. Should be used to prevent osteoporosis
  3. Is useful with complementary therapies
  4. Causes breast cancer
