Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Justice refers to fairness. Allocation of resources and access to health care involve the ethical principle of justice. The patient without provincial health insurance should not have to wait longer to receive health care than those with coverage. The duration of the wait should be determined by need alone.
B Autonomy refers to a person's independence. Autonomy represents an agreement to respect another's right to determine a course of action.
C Beneficence refers to taking positive actions to help others.
D Nonmaleficence refers to the avoidance of causing harm or hurt to others.
