MULTIPLE CHOICE @X




1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that the unit off
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


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


the nurse's ethical obligation to these clients?
@X @X @X @X @X @X


A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer servic
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


e to these clients.
@X @X @X


B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a differ
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


ent nursing role.@X @X


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


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




ANS: B @ X


Rationale: To avoid facing the ethical dilemma of providing care that contradicts the nurse’
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


s personal beliefs, the nurse should consider working in an area of nursing that would not
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @


pose this dilemma. The nurse should not provide care to the client because it is a conflic
X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


t of personal values. The nurse should not deny care to these clients as this would be a
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the client is not requesting information for alte
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


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

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


acquired pneumonia. During admission the client states, "I have a living will." What implic
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


ation of this should the nurse recognize?
@X @X @X @X @X @X


A. This document is always honored, regardless of circumstances.
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X


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


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


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




ANS: B @ X


Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living wills ar
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


e limited to situations in which the client's medical condition is deemed terminal. The othe
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


r answers are incorrect because living wills are not always honored in every circumstance,
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @


Xthey are not binding for the duration of the client's life, and they are not drawn up by t
@X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X @X


he client's family.

ain the ethical principle of nonmaleficence. Which of the following actions would be consi
