Answer to Question 1

ANS: Ethics
Ethics is a system of standards or moral principles that direct actions as being right or wrong. Ethics is concerned with the meaning of words such as right, wrong, good, bad, ought, and duty.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
It is unethical because the nurse has the ethical obligation to place the patient's needs above his or her own. It is illegal to use a narcotic prescribed for another person.
