Answer to Question 1
C
Ethics committees serve as a resource to support the processing of ethical dilemmas. Ethics committees serve several purposes: education, policy recommendation, and case consultation or review.
Although an ethics committee may gather detailed information, they do not interview all persons involved in a case; rather, they offer consultations or case reviews.
Illustrating circumstances that demonstrate malpractice is not a purpose of an ethics committee.
Examining similar previous instances for comparison of outcome decisions may be part of data gathering to help process an ethical dilemma or for policy recommendation, but it is not the pur-pose of an ethics committee.

D Encouraging family members to assist with the patient's care is not an example of cultural imposition on a patient. Western culture tends to follow a pattern of caring that focuses on self-care and self-determination, whereas non-Western cultures typically have care provided by others.
