Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse's first guideline in thinking about a specific ethical dilemma is to collect the facts. The second guideline is to ask oneself what would happen if everyone acted or behaved in the manner in question. If his or her ethical dilemma is not resolved, a third guideline may provide further direction. In this step, the nurse discusses his or her concerns with an authority.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The National Federation for Licensed Practical Nurses (NFLPN) and the National Association for Practical Nurse Education and Service (NAPNES) have each developed a code of ethics for practical/vocational nurses. A code of ethics is a list of rules of good conduct for members of a particular group, and the nurse applies the code of ethics by being committed to follow moral obligations of the practice of nursing. Laws and ethics are different concepts. The nurse practice act and licensure deal with legal concepts. Standards of practice are minimal care guidelines to protect the safety of clients. The ethical principles or moral obligations that guide nursing practice include the conduct of the nurse and the nurse with other health care team members, with clients and families, and with society.
