Answer to Question 1

B
Ethics and ethical care require that the nurse explore values and beliefs that are important to him or her. Responses A, C, and D are not definitions of ethical nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

A
Without the option of restraints, nurses are often more creative in their approaches to patient care. Responses B, C, and D are not documented results of restraint-free environments. Use of more medications would mean that the environment might not be free of chemical restraints.
