A nurse is educating a group of nursing on the deontological model of ethical reasoning. The nurse determines that the teaching has been effective when a student states:
a. "All life is worthy of respect.".
b. "Abortions are ethical.".
c. "Euthanasia is acceptable in certain situa-tions.".
d. "Lying is acceptable if it benefits the pa-tient.".
A
The deontological model of ethical reasoning states that all life is worthy of respect. Abortions and euthanasia are never acceptable because they violate the duty to respect the sanctity of all life. Lying is never acceptable because it violates the duty to tell the truth.
