Three nurses disagree over the appropriate treatment for a woman who is an excellent candidate for hospice care. The first nurse believes that deciding on care rather than cure is the woman's decision and no one else can decide for her.
 
  The second nurse says that it is the responsibility of the health care team to do good for the woman, and if the physician thinks there is still a possibility of cure, then the nurses should do everything they can to implement the treatment plan. The third nurse states that it isn't fair for the family members to expend all their resources on the woman, who is probably going to die anyway. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from this dispute? (Select all that apply.)
  a. Ethical principles can conflict with one another.
  b. The nurses are each using different ethical approaches.
  c. The first nurse is correct because autonomy demands that the woman decide for herself.
  d. There is no single accepted approach for resolving such disagreements.
