Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Although legal documents and the views of family members should be taken into account, a nurse may be called on to make ethical decisions without them or occasionally in opposition to them. Retreating into a care-only' mode does not resolve ethical dilemmas. The best choice among those listed is to seek guidance from professional organizations and committees charged with establishing ethical guidelines for institutions.

Answer to Question 2

D
