Answer:

(D). Nonmaleficence

Explanation :

Leukemia occurs when damage is caused by the DNA of developing blood cells, mainly white cells. This causes the blood cells to uncontrollably expand and split. Good blood cells die, and are replaced by new cells. Bone marrow transplant is required in curing leukaemia. A bone marrow transplant is a surgical procedure performed to replace the weakened or killed bone marrow by illness, infection, or chemotherapy. This procedure involves the transplantation of blood stem cells into the bone marrow where they create new blood cells and encourage new marrow growth.

The healthcare team is discussing the risks and benefits of this treatment , this refers to Nonmaleficence healthcare ethics. Nonmaleficence means that it does not damage or cause the least possible harm to achieve a beneficial outcome.

Answer:

B. Right AV valve

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Generally, the cardiac cycle occurs in two (2) stages;

Diastole : in this stage, the ventricles is relaxed and would be filled with blood.

Systole: at this stage, the muscles contracts and thus, allow blood to be pushed through the atria.

Generally, the right atrioventricular valve (AV) is also referred to as the tricuspid valve and is located on the right dorsal side of the human heart. The right atrioventricular valve (AV) comprises of three (3) leaflets (flaps) which opens and closes in order to allow for the flow of blood from the right atrium of the human heart to the right ventricle. Also, the right atrioventricular valve is saddled with the responsibility of preventing blood from flowing backward in the mammalian heart.

Hence, the valve which is between the Right Atrium and ventricle is the right atrioventricular valve (AV).
