Answer to Question 1

C
The object of beneficence is to provide good to the patient, but the meaning of good must be clarified within each patient's wishes and desires.
There is no practical way to consider every single way a patient can benefit from an action, particularly when you realize that every patient is a unique individual and will have potential benefits that are unique to him or her.
Doing good for patients is the basis of the principle, but merely doing the best thing does not specify using the patient's preferences and values in each setting. It would also be impossible to accomplish this in every single situation.
Making care decisions without considering the patient's wishes is not practicing ethically, although there are times when professional judgment may be a priority.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
Both the LPN and ADN programs envision nurses who will be supervised by higher prepared RNs.
Both the LPN and ADN programs prepare nurses who are considered technical in nature.
Whereas the LPN takes the NCLEX-PN examination, the ADN graduate takes the NCLEX-RN examination.
LPN programs often do not carry college credit, which makes it difficult to matriculate into RN programs.
LPN programs generally are 9 to 15 months long, whereas ADN programs are typically 2 years in duration.
