Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Responsibility refers to one's willingness to respect and adhere to one's professional obligations. It is the nurse's responsibility to report missing narcotics. Accountability refers to the ability to answer for one's actions. Advocacy refers to the support of a particular cause. The concept of confidentiality is very important in health care and involves protecting patients' personal health information.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Feminist ethics particularly focuses on the nature of relationships, especially those where there is a power imbalance or a point of view that is ignored or invisible. Deontology refers to making decisions or right-making characteristics, bioethics focuses on consensus building, while utilitarianism and teleology speak to the greatest good for the greatest number.
