Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Autonomy includes the patient's right to privacy. It is assumed that an autonomous patient would reject unnecessary exposure of the body.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Being prepared to provide skillful nursing care, anticipating problems that may occur, and thinking through alternative solutions qualifies as observing the principle of doing no harm. Autonomy and justice are not principles that apply. Fear of punishment is not an ethical principle.
