Case Scenario: Noura was a 52-year-old woman who had suffered… Case Scenario:Noura was a 52-year-old woman who had suffered chronic back pain for many years. She had repeated admissions in an attempt to find the cause, all without success, and her only relief came from the Pentazocine which she had taken for years. Along with the doctors, Sister agreed that sterile water should be given as a substitute without Noura’s knowledge, as it was believed that Noura was so addicted that it was difficult to know whether she really had pain or not. Gradually, Noura’s analgesia was replaced with the water, despite her complaints of cramps, nausea, and pain. After a few weeks she was told that her drugs had been substituted and that it was now possible to control her pain with a milder and safer analgesic. She was furious that we had deceived her and accused us of causing her unnecessary suffering. Her sister felt that the actions were justified as Noura would have a better life free from the drug. Answer s 1-4 accordingly.Discuss the possible ethical theories and the justification that support the decision in the two options below.    (10 marks) A- The ethical theory can be used to justify health care providers’ and Noura’s sister in deceiving her?
