1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that theun
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io o
i




it offers therapeutic abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's personalbeli
io io io io io io io io io io o

efs. What is the nurse's ethical obligation to these clients?
io io io io io io io io io




A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer servicet
io io io io io io io io io io io o
i




o these clients.
io io




B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a differentnu
io io io io io io io io io io io io io o
i




rsing role. io



C. The nurse should decline to care for the clients considering abortion.
io io io io io io io io io io




D. The nurse should express alternatives to women considering terminating their
io io io io io io io io io o

pregnancy.

use it is a conflict of personal values. The nurse should not deny care to theseclients

as this would be a breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the client is notrequesting

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

acquiredpneumonia. During admission the client states, "I have a living will.

i io io io io io io io io io io




" What implication of this should the nurse recognize?
io io io io io io io io



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




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




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 DNRs

tatus.


ANS: B io




Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living wi
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




lls are limited to situations in which the client's medical condition is deemed termin

al. The other answers are incorrect because living wills are not always honored in e

very circumstance, they are not binding for the duration of the client'slife, and they ar

3. A nurse has been providing ethical care for many years and is aware of the needto
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io o

maintain the ethical principle of nonmaleficence. Which of the following actionswo
io io io io io io io io io io o
i




uld be considered a violation of this principle?
io io io io io io io



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




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



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




D. Providing more care for one client than for another io io io io io io io io o

ANS: C io




Rationale: The duty not to inflict as well as prevent and remove harm is termed no
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io




nmaleficence. Discussing a DNR order with a terminally ill client and assisting aclient
io io io io io io io io io io io io o

io with ADLs would not be considered contradictions to the nurse's duty of nonmalefi
io io io io io io io io io io io io




cence. Some clients justifiably require more care than others.
