Answer to Question 1

A
The teacher's choice is preserving dignity, which is a value included in the CNA Code of Ethics. She cherishes her choice of being treated like everyone else despite her medical condition and publicly affirms the choice by teaching from her wheelchair and insisting that she be treated the same as her colleagues.
At this point, the teacher is not choosing from alternatives. She could have chosen to quit teach-ing, but she did not. She has already made her choice.
The teacher is not demonstrating that she is considering all consequences. She has already made her choice.
At this point, the teacher is not demonstrating that she is acting with a pattern of consistency. She is not repeating a behaviour.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse must believe that a patient is in pain whenever the patient reports that he or she is in pain, even if the patient does not appear to be in pain. Whenever the patient reports pain, the nurse needs to collaborate with the patient to determine the best method of pain relief, whether it be medication, meditation, or repositioning. The nurse must be careful to not judge the patient based on vital signs or nonverbal communication and must not assume that the patient is seeking narcotics. The patient is a partner in pain management, so going to get narcotics to treat the pain without consulting with the patient first is not appropriate.
