MULTIPLE CHOICE X@




1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that the unit off
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


ers therapeutic abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's personal beliefs. What is
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


the nurse's ethical obligation to these clients?
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer servic
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


e to these clients.
X@ X@ X@


B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a differ
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


ent nursing role.X@ X@


C. The nurse should decline to care for the client’s considering abortion.
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


D. The nurse should express alternatives to women considering terminating their pregnancy.
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@




ANS: B X @


Rationale: To avoid facing the ethical dilemma of providing care that contradicts the nurse’
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


s personal beliefs, the nurse should consider working in an area of nursing that would not
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X


pose this dilemma. The nurse should not provide care to the client because it is a conflic
@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


t of personal values. The nurse should not deny care to these clients as this would be a
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the client is not requesting information for alte
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


rnatives to abortions, then the nurse should not be providing this information.

2. An 80-year-old client is admitted with a diagnosis of community-
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


acquired pneumonia. During admission the client states, "I have a living will." What implic
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


ation of this should the nurse recognize?
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


A. This document is always honored, regardless of circumstances.
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


B. This document specifies the client's wishes before hospitalization.
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


C. This document is binding for the duration of the client's life.
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


D. This document has been drawn up by the client's family to determine DNR status.
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@




ANS: B X @


Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living wills ar
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


e limited to situations in which the client's medical condition is deemed terminal. The othe
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


r answers are incorrect because living wills are not always honored in every circumstance,
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X


@they are not binding for the duration of the client's life, and they are not drawn up by t
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


he client's family.

3. A nurse has been providing ethical care for many years and is aware of the need to maint
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


ain the ethical principle of nonmaleficence. Which of the following actions would be consi
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


dered a violation of this principle?
X@ X@ X@ X@ X@


A. Discussing a DNR order with a terminally ill client

B. Assisting a semi-independent client with ADLs
