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.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
