Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The principle of autonomy refers to freedom from external control and includes commitment to include patients in decisions about their care. People from different generations have differing expectations regarding inclusion in their care. Often, patients who are part of the Silent Generation (born 1925-1945) value formality and authority, which may make them less comfortable with making their own health care decisions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Utilitarianism is a system of ethics that believes that value is determined by usefulness. This system of ethics focuses on the outcome of the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Deontology would not look to consequences of actions. The ethics of care would not be helpful because consensus on this issue is not achievable. Relationships, which are an important component of feminist ethics, are not addressed in this case.
