MULTIPLE CHOICE m
1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that the unit offers therapeutic
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's personal beliefs. What is the nurse's ethical obligation
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
to these clients?
m m m
A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer service to these
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
clients. m
B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a different nursing
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
role. m
C. The nurse should decline to care for the client’s considering abortion.
m m m m m m m m m m
D. The nurse should express alternatives to women considering terminating their pregnancy.
m m m m m m m m m m
ANS: B m
Rationale: To avoid facing the ethical dilemma of providing care that contradicts the nurse’s personal
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
beliefs, the nurse should consider working in an area of nursing that would not pose this dilemma. The
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
nurse should not provide care to the client because it is a conflict of personal values. The nurse should
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
not deny care to these clients as this would be a breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the client is not
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
requesting information for alternatives to abortions, then the nurse should not be providing this
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
information.

2. An 80-year-old client is admitted with a diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia. During
m m m m m m m m m m m
admission the client states, "I have a living will." What implication of this should the nurse recognize?
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
A. This document is always honored, regardless of circumstances.
m m m m m m m
B. This document specifies the client's wishes before hospitalization.
m m m m m m m
C. This document is binding for the duration of the client's life.
m m m m m m m m m m
D. This document has been drawn up by the client's family to determine DNR status.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
ANS: B m
Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living wills are limited to
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
situations in which the client's medical condition is deemed terminal. The other answers are incorrect
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
because living wills are not always honored in every circumstance, they are not binding for the duration
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
of the client's life, and they are not drawn up by the client's family.
