MULTIPLE CHOICE ll




1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that the unit offers therapeutic
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's personal beliefs. What is the nurse's ethical
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


obligation to these clients?
ll ll ll ll


A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer service to these
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


clients. ll


B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a different nursing
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


role. ll


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


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




ANS: B
Rationale: To avoid facing the ethical dilemma of providing care that contradicts the nurse’s
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


personal beliefs, the nurse should consider working in an area of nursing that would not pose this
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l ll ll ll ll


dilemma. The nurse should not provide care to the client because it is a conflict of personal values.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


The nurse should not deny care to these clients as this would be a breach in the Code of Ethics for
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


nurses. If the client is not requesting information for alternatives to abortions, then the nurse should
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


not be providing this information.

2. An 80-year-old client is admitted with a diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia. During
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


admission the client states, "I have a living will." What implication of this should the nurse recognize?
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


A. This document is always honored, regardless of circumstances.
l ll ll ll ll ll ll


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


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


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




ANS: B
Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living wills are limited to
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


situations in which the client's medical condition is deemed terminal. The other answers are incorrect
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


because living wills are not always honored in every circumstance, they are not binding for the
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


duration of the client's life, and they are not drawn up by the client's family.

3. A nurse has been providing ethical care for many years and is aware of the need to maintain the ethical
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


principle of nonmaleficence. Which of the following actions would be considered a violation of
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


this principle?

A. Discussing a DNR order with a terminally ill client ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll


B. Assisting a semi-independent client with ADLs ll ll ll ll ll


C. Refusing to administer pain medication as prescribed ll ll ll ll ll ll
