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
