Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Medical ethics.

Explanation

Medical ethics is the name given to a branch of ethics that focuses on promoting ethical principles in medicine which are related to the moral and values. The purpose of this branch is to promote the correct performance of health professionals.

According to the above, Luanna is studying for a medical ethics test because the situation described expresses a situation that deals with moral principles and acting correctly according to ethics because in this case, the nurse has labeled the tube with incorrect information which is against ethics. Also, in this case, the nurse would have to recognize this mistake or bad action and change the label to guarantee all procedures are correct and follow ethics. So, the correct answer is B. Medical ethics.
