Answer to Question 1

D
Ethics is a system of moral principles and standards that helps to decide conduct and actions, so although this applies to the situation, it is a more general guide and is not specific to this situation; there is a better answer choice. Morals are taught to us as children to guide behavior, such as learning that abortion is murder. However, this does not apply specifically to the nurse's care for this woman. Bioethics refers to the application of ethical principles to healthcare, but is not exactly the term we should use in this case - the nurse can provide high-quality care to someone who has a different set of morals from her own. Nursing ethics are a specific subset of bioethics that apply only to nurses, and is the specific concept upon which the nurse's behavior is based.

Answer to Question 2

C
Web addresses ending in .net would make the nurse double-check the reliability of the information to make sure it is accurate by looking for other sources to support the claims. A doctorate in nursing practice (DNP) degree indicates the author has a good educational basis from which to be considered an expert and would not make the nurse question the reliability of the writing. Articles with a reference list indicate the writing is based on other sources and would not make the nurse question the reliability of the writing. Information that is less than 5 years old is considered up to date; some classic content, original theory, or research may be even older and still remain relevant.
