Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Privacy refers to that part of an individual's personal life that is not governed by society's laws and government intrusion. Confidentiality refers to an ethical duty of nondisclosure. Confidentiality also involves two people: the individual who discloses the information, and the person with whom the information is shared. Informed consent is a legal procedure to ensure that the client knows the benefits and costs of treatment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
Self-determinism is defined as being empowered or having the free will to make moral judgments. Personal autonomy and avoidance of dependence are key values. A self-determined individual is internally motivated to make choices based on personal goals, not to please others or be rewarded. It is the right to choose one's own health-related behaviors and refuse treatment.
