Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2, 4, 5, 6
The resolution of conflicting opinions works best when the following elements are part of the process: the presumption of good will on the part of all participants, strict adherence to confiden-tiality, client-centered decision making, and the welcome participation of families and primary caregivers. The remaining options represent group characteristics that usually minimize conflict in decision making.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 3, 4, 5
The American Nurses Association (ANA) established the first code of nursing ethics decades ago. The ANA reviews and revises the Code regularly to reflect changes in practice. Basic princi-ples remain constant; however, responsibility, accountability, advocacy, and confidentiality. Alt-hough admirable, the remaining options are not considered core principles of the code.
