Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The signed consent ensures that the nurse obtained the client's permission before proceeding with the procedure. The remaining options are examples of nonmaleficence, client right to be in-formed, and veracity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
I cannot share that information with you about the client's condition reflects the application of the ethical principle of confidentiality. Information is not to be shared with others without spe-cific client consent. I'm concerned that funding may affect the outpatient program reflects a concern regarding allocation of resources. It is not a confidentiality issue. The nurse who makes sure a client has gained understanding is being ethically responsible. I need to get more infor-mation about the client's personal health history reflects data gathering. Information gathered is to be used for the purpose of providing competent health care. It should not be shared with oth-ers without specific consent of the client.
