The Supreme Court, which is the final court of appeal in Canada, is not involved

in the regulation of health care professionals.

C Incorrect—
Labour unions do not focus on nursing standards and knowledge; rather, they re
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

present the collective bargaining rights of nurses.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

D Incorrect—
This Act is relevant to nursing in that it regulates the prescribing, dispensing, and handl

2. Identify one of the reasons why nurses need to have an understanding of ethics.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

a. Nurses do not share the same perspectives regarding health care with other health car
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


e professionals.

b. Morality and care are at the heart of nursing practice.

c. Ethics provides a clear answer to nurses regarding the correct course of action.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

d. Convincing family members of compassionate courses of action is best done by nurses.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt



CORRECT ANS:B Xt




Elaboration
A Incorrect—Professional values may be shared across multiple professions, and Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


perspectives on issues may be similar. When views on an issue differ, then knowledge of
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


ethics assists in clarifying and defending one’s position to others.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

B Correct! One reason for nurses studying ethics is that morality and care are at th
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

e heart of nursing practice.
Xt Xt Xt Xt

C Incorrect—
Ethical theories can provide a framework for the exploration of the ethical questions an
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


d moral issues faced in health care. These theories guide how morality is understood wit
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


hin the sphere of nursing practice and the nurse– patient or nurse–

client relationship. Ethical theories and frameworks can

Nurses as members of the health care team are in a strong position to support families.

3. Why is it advantageous for nurses to have knowledge of ethical theories and principles?
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

a. Ethical theories encourage nurses to critique others’ points of view.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

b. Nurses are able to justify and defend their positions on a situation.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


c. Ethical theories help nurses explain to the rest of the team why nurses have a
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


greater understanding of the patient’s perspective.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

d. This knowledge allows nurses to convince patients to choose comfort measures only.
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt



CORRECT ANS:B Xt




Elaboration
A Incorrect—
Ethics encourages nurses to respect the values of others and assists in understanding
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


opposing points of view. Ethics offers tools to nurses to respectfully argue in favour of
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt X t Xt Xt Xt


their positions while respecting the perspectives
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

of others.
Xt

B Correct! When views differ, ethical theories help clarify one’s position and make argume
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


nts in support of it. Nurses ensure that all relevant information is shared with the
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


team and the client.Xt Xt Xt

C Incorrect—
The perspective of all team members is important and is based on the unique re
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


lationships each nurse has with the client. Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt

D Incorrect—This approach is paternalistic. Nurses and the health care team, while
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


respecting a person’s autonomy, support him or her in making decisions about
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


what is best in a particular context. This includes ensuring that patients are aware of all th
Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt


e options available to them.

CORRECT ANS:D Xt




Elaboration
A Incorrect—
Reserved or controlled acts and the administration of narcotics are two example

consequences, and errors or omissions may lead to negligence claims. Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt Xt
