1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that theun
8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i i8




it offers therapeutic abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's personalbeli

efs. What is the nurse's ethical obligation to these clients?
8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i




A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer servicet
8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i i8




o these clients.

B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a differentn

ursing role. 8i



C. The nurse should decline to care for the clients considering abortion.
8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i 8i




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

Rationale: To avoid facing the ethical dilemma of providing care that contradicts thenu

2. An 80-year-old client is admitted with a diagnosis of community-

acquiredpneumonia. During admission the client states, "I have a living will.

" What implication of this should the nurse recognize?
