Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The teacher's choice is preserving dignity,which is a value included in the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA)Code of Ethics.She cherishes her choice of being treated the same as her colleagues despite her medical condition,and she publicly affirms the choice by teaching from her wheelchair.At this point,having already made a choice,the teacher is not choosing from alternatives-she could have chosen to quit teaching,but she did not-and is not demonstrating that she is still considering all consequences.The situation does not reflect that her actions have a pattern of consistency;she is not repeating a particular behaviour.
