What is defined as the knowledge of right and wrong?

Emphysema
Enema
Epilepsy
Ethics

The correct answer is: Ethics

Ethics refers to the principles that govern a person's behavior or the conduct of an activity, specifically related to the concepts of right and wrong. In the context of healthcare and caregiving, understanding ethics is crucial because it guides professionals in making decisions that affect patient welfare, ensuring they act in the best interests of those they care for. Knowledge of ethics allows a CNA to navigate complex moral situations, make judicious choices, and provide compassionate care while respecting patients' rights and dignity. Other terms like emphysema, enema, and epilepsy pertain to medical conditions or procedures and do not encompass the moral and philosophical considerations associated with determining right from wrong actions. Emphysema is a lung condition, an enema is a medical procedure to introduce liquid into the rectum, and epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by seizures. These terms are not relevant to the understanding of moral principles.
