Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Under no circumstances would it ever be right for a person to stop CPR efforts is correct. De-ontology defines actions as right or wrong based on their right-making characteristics, such as fidelity to promises, truthfulness, and justice. Deontology does not look at consequences of ac-tions to determine rightness or wrongness. Fidelity to promises and beneficence may be principles upon which this statement is based on determining wrongness. I believe this disease was al-lowed by a supreme being does not reflect the deontological ethical theory. Because it reflects a relationship between disease and a supreme being, it follows the feminist ethical theory. He has become a stronger individual through experiencing the loss of his father does not best illustrate the deontological ethical theory because it is citing a consequence. It follows the utilitarian ethi-cal theory. The chemotherapy did not cure this person, but it provided a better life for him does not best illustrate the deontological ethical theory because it is citing a consequence. It follows the utilitarian ethical theory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
The correct sequence for resolving ethical problems is recognizing the dilemma, gathering facts, examining one's own values, verbalizing the problem, considering actions, negotiating the out-come, and evaluating the action.
