1. Which of the following ethical principles refers to the duty to do good?

A. Beneficence
B. Fidelity
C. Veracity
D. Nonmaleficence

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Nursing interventions should be grounded in a deep understanding of the physiological processes involved, ensuring that care provided is both effective and efficient.

2. In conducting a cleansing enema, how does the nurse position the client?

A. Right lateral position
B. Left lateral position
C. Right Sim's position
D. Left Sim's position

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In preparing a patient for a cleansing enema, the nurse typically positions the patient in the left lateral position. This position allows for the best flow of the solution due to the anatomical configuration of the colon. The right lateral position, right Sim's position, and left Sim's position are not typically used for this procedure. The rationale provided initially is incorrect as it pertains to lung expansion and postural drainage, which are not relevant to a cleansing enema procedure.
