Answer to Question 1

D
The principle of utility, is a basic concept of teleology, is that an act must result in the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Alternative actions should be analyzed for their potential consequences, both positive and negative. In this theory, the action selected provides the most benefit and the least harm to those involved.

Answer to Question 2

D
Phosphate and calcium have an inverse relationship. If one electrolyte is elevated, the other will be decreased. The normal range of serum calcium (ionized) is 4.5 to 5.6 mEq/L; the total serum calcium (ionized and bound to albumin) range for adults is 9.0 to 10.5 mg/dL. The normal serum phosphorus range is 1.7 to 2.6 mEq/L.
