MULTIPLE CHOICE de




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


therapeutic abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's personal beliefs. What is the
de de de de de de de de de de de de de


nurse's ethical obligation to these clients?
de de de de de de


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


these clients.
de de


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


nursing role.
de de


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


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




ANS: B d e


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


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


this dilemma. The nurse should not provide care to the client because it is a conflict of
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de


personal values. The nurse should not deny care to these clients as this would be a breach in
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de


the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the client is not requesting information for alternatives to
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de


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
de de de de de de de de de de de


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


recognize?
de


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


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


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


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




ANS: B d e


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


limited to situations in which the client's medical condition is deemed terminal. The other
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de


answers are incorrect because living wills are not always honored in every circumstance, they
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de


are not binding for the duration of the client's life, and they are not drawn up by the client's
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de


family.

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


ethical principle of nonmaleficence. Which of the following actions would be considered a
de de de de de de de de de de de de de


violation of this principle?
de de de de


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


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


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