MULTIPLE CHOICE bb




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




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




obligation to these clients?
bb bb bb bb




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




clients. bb




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




role. bb




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




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




ANS: B b b




Rationale: To avoid facing the ethical dilemma of providing care that contradicts the nurse’s personal
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb




beliefs, the nurse should consider working in an area of nursing that would not pose this dilemma. The
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb




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




not deny care to these clients as this would be a breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the client is
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb




not requesting information for alternatives to abortions, then the nurse should not be providing this
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb




information.

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




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




A. This document is always honored, regardless of circumstances.
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb




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




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




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




ANS: B b b




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




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




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




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
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb




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




principle?

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




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