Answer to Question 1

A
Autonomy is the right to self-determination, that is, to make one's own decisions. By exploring alternatives with the patient, the patient is better equipped to make an informed, autonomous decision. The distracters demonstrate beneficence, fidelity, and justice.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Natural remedies are less invasive and should be attempted prior to administration of medication, such as pain patches and PCA pumps.
