Standards of behavior and the concept of right and wrong beyond legal considerations are known as:

A. empathy
B. ethics
C. confidentiality
D. ordinances


b
Rationale: Ethics are standards of behavior outside the scope of law; hence, this is the correct choice. The other choices are incorrect because empathy concerns the ability to understand another person's position, confidentiality involves the keeping of patient information secure and safe from others who have no right to have access to it, and ordinances are spe-cific legal rulings.
