A) Deontology
B) Utilitarianism
C) Feminist ethics
D) Ethics of care

Ethics of care suggest that health care workers resolve ethical dilemmas by paying attention to relationships and stories of the participants and by promoting a fundamental act of caring.Attention to relationships distinguishes the ethics of care from other ethical viewpoints because it does not necessarily apply universal principles that are intellectual or analytical.Deontology defines actions as right or wrong based on "right-making characteristics" such as truth and justice.You use utilitarian ethics when determining the value of something based primarily on its usefulness and effects or consequences.Feminist ethics proposes that we routinely ask how ethical decisions will affect women as a way to repair a history of inequality.
