Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Justice means treating all patients fairly according to their needs; that is, with dignity and respect. The other principles listed in the options do not fit the scenario.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Being fair does not mean giving every patient the same thing. It means treating them the same; that is, with dignity and respect. Basing care on a patient's culture, religion, and social status and determining who is most deserving of extra care would result in care that is provided based on subjective criteria.
