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.
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 |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.
ANS: | 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 |other |answers |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.

3. A |nurse |has |been |providing |ethical |care |for |many |years |and |is |aware |of |the |need |to |maintain |the |ethical
|principle |of |nonmaleficence. |Which |of |the |following |actions |would |be |considered |a |violation |of |this

|principle?

A. Discussing |a |DNR |order |with |a |terminally |ill |client
B. Assisting |a |semi-independent |client |with |ADLs
C. Refusing |to |administer |pain |medication |as |prescribed
