MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that the unit offers
therapeutic abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's personal beliefs. What is the nurse's
ethical obligation to these clients?
A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer service to these clients.
B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a different nursing role.
C. The nurse should decline to care for the client’s considering abortion.
D. The nurse should express alternatives to women considering terminating their pregnancy.
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: To avoid facing the ethical dilemma of providing care that contradicts the nurse’s personal
beliefs, the nurse should consider working in an area of nursing that would not pose this dilemma. The
nurse should not provide care to the client because it is a conflict of personal values. The nurse should not
deny care to these clients as this would be a breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the client is not
requesting information for alternatives to abortions, then the nurse should not be providing this
information.

2. An 80-year-old client is admitted with a diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia. During
admission the client states, "I have a living will." What implication of this should the nurse recognize?
A. This document is always honored, regardless of circumstances.
B. This document specifies the client's wishes before hospitalization.
C. This document is binding for the duration of the client's life.
D. This document has been drawn up by the client's family to determine DNR status.
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living wills are limited to
situations in which the client's medical condition is deemed terminal. The otheranswers are incorrect
because living wills are not always honored in every circumstance, they are not binding for the duration of
the client's life, and they are not drawn up by the client's family.
