Answer to Question 1

A
Justice is the principle of fairness requiring that all people be treated equally and that scarce resources be distributed on the basis of individual need. For example, the quality of care a nurse provides to a client who is rich and famous should be the same as the care provided to a homeless person. Unequal treatment can be justified according to the material principle of justice, such as the designation of Veterans Affairs health care facilities for only those who serve or served in the military.

Answer to Question 2

A
Critical pathways are comprehensive preprinted multidisciplinary standard plans of care for specific case situations reflecting the ideal course of treatment for the average client with the given diagnosis.
