Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An ethic of care places the nurse as the patient's advocate, solving ethical dilemmas by attending to relationships and by giving priority to each patient's unique personhood. An ethic of care is unique so that professional nurses do not make professional decisions based solely on intellectual or analytical principles. Instead, an ethic of care places caring at the center of decision making. Nurses who function from an ethic of care are sensitive to unequal relationships that lead to abuse of one person's power over anotherintentional or otherwise.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Research indicates caring behaviors of nurses from the patient's/families' perspective include the following: (1) Providing honest, clear, and accurate information; (2) asking permission before doing something to a patient; (3) helping patients do as much for themselves as possible; and (4) teaching the family how to keep the relative physically comfortable. Patients continue to value nurses' effectiveness in performing tasks, but clearly patients value the affective dimension of nursing care.
