Answer to Question 1

C
As with all nursing functions, the first step is assessment. Option a is an ethical decision-making framework based on deontology. Option b reflects the theory of utilitarianism. Seeking the assis-tance of an ethics committee (Option d) would occur after assessment if the ethical dilemma cannot be resolved among the patient, family, and caregivers.
