Answer to Question 1

C
Self-determination, or the right to make one's own health care decisions, and informed consent are grounded in the principle of autonomy. The belief that a physician knows what is best for the patient is known as paternalism, and the belief that every patient has a right to health care is the principle of justice (Options a, b, and d).

Answer to Question 2

B
Deontology judges actions based on motive or intent and is especially applicable to the field of research. Options a and c are not true of deontology.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
