Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Ethics refers to behaviors nurses ought to observe. Laws refers to statutes that must be observed. None of the other options state this.

ANS: A
Values involve the worth assigned to an idea or action. In this statement the nurse reveals that she values the traditional two-parent family. The statement does not clearly address any of the other options.
