Answer to Question 1

C
A value is a belief about the worth of something. This coworker is diminishing the worth of the overweight nurse through the statement made, which goes against nursing values of compassion and human dignity. Morals are something we learn that help us differentiate good from bad, right from wrong. Ethics is the study of a system of moral principles and standards; therefore, this coworker is not expressing ethics. A compromise is a solution in which parties with opposing positions all settle on a solution to a problem that is somewhere between what each party would ideally like to have. This nurse is simply stating her own position.

Answer to Question 2

A
Altruism is identified as one of the values of nursing identified by the AACN. Equality, education, and honesty are not identified as values by the AACN; however, they have been frequently cited in nursing literature as being important to nursing.
