Answer to Question 1

D
An online program would greatly enhance accessibility. More nurses are educated in associate degree programs from junior or community colleges than in either diploma or BSN programs. The coursework would be directed and taught by faculty with appropriate credentials for teaching at the BSN level, and clinical experiences could be managed locally by community college faculty with supervision by the parent university faculty.
In a mostly rural state, creating a summer-intensive program where students would still have to live and study outside their hometowns does not increase accessibility.
The weekend college idea would still require students from the rural areas to travel perhaps long distances to attend school.
Programs designed to capture non-nursing majors who wish to enter nursing are growing in popularity, but this does not improve accessibility for the rural population.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse who practices ethically can analyze ethical conflicts in light of situational variables to determine what is right and wrong and then act on what is right.
Patients do have the right to make their own decisions, even when they could cause harm, but being ethical does not mean a blanket approval for the patient to do what he or she wants in every situation. The patient may not understand the facts of a situation, may be impaired by drugs or alcohol, or may have cognitive disabilities that preclude full understanding.
Being of good moral character certainly does play into ethical practice, but ethical practice goes well beyond just a characteristic and requires action.
No strict guidelines exist for ethical behavior, but standards can be used to guide ethical decision making and action. No one set of guidelines will apply to every situation.
