Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Because there are safety risks involved when using restraints on elderly confused clients, this is a common ethical problem in long-term care settings, as well as other health care settings. Restraints limit the individual's autonomy because they are perceived as imprisonment. Restraints should not limit personal safety. Often, restraints increase confusion, and they prevent self-directed care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Nonmaleficence is a principle of bioethics and is defined as the obligation to prevent harm. Advocacy, morals, and values are not principles of bioethics.
