Answer to Question 1

C
Utilitarianism determines the value of something based primarily on its usefulness. Deontology defines actions as right or wrong according to principles. The feminist ethic asks how ethical de-cisions will affect women. The ethics of care suggests that health care workers solve ethical di-lemmas by the promotion of the fundamental act of caring.

Answer to Question 2

C
Suggest simple and appropriate tasks for family members to perform (e.g., offering help with meals, simple hygiene or comfort activities, or filling out a menu). Family members who are having difficulty accepting the patient's impending death sometimes avoid visits. When family members visit, reassure them that their presence is important, encourage interaction, and offer information about what the patient was talking about or has recently experienced. Encourage family members to discuss normal family activities, reminisce about enjoyable times, and ask about the patient's concerns. Some people feel lonely or fearful at night and want a family member to stay with them. In acute care settings or extended care facilities, allow visitors to re-main with patients who are dying, and relax other visiting restrictions.
