The distribution of nurses to areas of "most need" in the time of a nursing
shortage is an example
of:
a. Utilitarianism theory
b. Deontological theory
c. Justice
d. Beneficence
c. Justice
Justice is defined as the fairness of distribution of resources. However,
guidelines for a hierarchy
of needs have been established, such as with organ transplantation. Nurses are

that had five staff will give up two to go help the floor that had no staff.
