Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
This information is private and the nurse is violating the client's right to confidentiality because the information has no bearing on the care needs of the client. The remaining options are not re-flective of an ethical breech because the exchange of that information has a direct bearing on the client's care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Following the ethical principle of autonomy, the nurse facilitates a client's decision-making pro-cess in order to make their own decisions regarding all aspects of life, including their care, and then supports those decisions. The most important and possibly controversial decision is that of DNR status and thus shows the greatest commitment on the nurse's part.
