Chapter 1: Professional Nursing Practice

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 clients considering abortion.
-? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -?
D. The nurse should express alternatives to women considering terminating
-? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -
? theirpregnancy. -?
ANS: 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
-? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -
? clientbecause it is a conflict of personal values. The nurse should not deny care to
-? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -
theseclients as this would be a breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the client is
? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -
notrequesting information for alternatives to abortions, then the nurse should
? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -? -
? not beproviding this information.
