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

B 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
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




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




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




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