Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Justice refers to treating people fairly. Allocation of resources and access to health care involves the ethical principle of justice. The client without medical insurance should not have to wait longer to receive health care than those with insurance. Autonomy refers to a person's independ-ence. Autonomy represents an agreement to respect another's right to determine a course of ac-tion. Beneficence refers to taking positive actions to help others. Nonmaleficence refers to the avoidance of harm or hurt.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Following the ethical principle of autonomy, the nurse allows a client to make his or her own de-cisions regarding care and then supports that decision. Learning how to perform a procedure safely and effectively is a nurse's use of ethical responsibility. Returning to speak to a client at an agreed upon time demonstrates the ethical principle of fidelity. Preparing the client's room for comfort and privacy is a nurse's use of ethical responsibility.
