Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
While helping patients with values clarification and care decisions, nurses must be aware of the potential influence of their professional nursing role on patient decision making. Nurses should be careful to assist patients to clarify their own values in reaching informed decisions. Providing information to patients so that they can make informed decisions is a critical nursing role. Giving advice or telling patients what to do in difficult circumstances is both unethical and ill-advised.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Values are enduring ideas about what a person considers is the good, the best, and the right thing to do and their oppositesthe bad, worst, and wrong things to doand about what is desirable or has worth in life. First-order beliefs serve as the foundation or the basis of an individual's belief system. Higher-order beliefs are ideas derived from a person's first-order beliefs, inductive, or syllogistic reasoning. A stereotype is a belief about a person, a group, or an event that is thought to be typical of all others in that category.
