A male teenage client tells the nurse that his friends like to drink alcohol occasionally to get drunk. The client’s friends see nothing wrong with their drinking habits. The client states that he was taught by his parents and agrees that underage drinking is not acceptable. Also, he has never seen his parents drunk; therefore, he refuses to drink with his friends. Which mode of transmission best describes how this client’s particular value was formed? a. Moralizing b. Modeling c. Reward-punishment d. Laissez-faire ANS: B Modeling best describes how the teenage client developed this value because his parents not only discussed this issue but behaved in a way for the teen to copy. Moralizing sets standards of right and wrong with no choices allowed; the reward-punishment model rewards valued behavior and punishes undesired behavior; and the laissez-faire model imposes no restriction or direction on choices.

Which ethical principle did the nurse violate? a. Fidelity b. Veracity c. Confidentiality d. Justice ANS: A Fidelity refers to the obligation to keep one’s word. The nurse violated this principle in this situation, which leads to mistrust from the client. Veracity is the duty to tell the truth, confidentiality is the duty of keeping the client’s information private, and justice indicates that all clients must be treated fairly, equally, and respectfully.

Later in the week, the client’s wife also seeks assistance because she is going to divorce her husband. The nurse who is caring for both of these clients tries to decide the correct action to take. The nurse is experiencing: a. A moral dilemma b. Value clarification c. An ethical conflict (or dilemma) d. A breach of confidentiality ANS: C This is an example of an ethical conflict or ethical dilemma. The nurse wants to help both clients but must maintain confidentiality for each. Use of guidelines for ethical decision making can assist the nurse in making an ethical decision. A moral dilemma is simply a dilemma associated with making a decision between right and wrong.

Check the state’s nurse practice act again c. Contact the nursing supervisor for approval to carry out the treatment d. Refer to the facility’s policy and procedure to determine the course of action ANS: D Because this treatment is covered under the state’s nurse practice act, the next step is to refer to the facility’s policy and procedure manual to determine whether the ordered treatment is allowed by the facility. Calling the physician is not necessary because there was no question about how the order was written, and the state’s nurse practice act has already been checked.
