Chapter 1: Professional Nursing Practice
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 clients considering abortion.
D. The nurse should express alternatives to women considering terminating their pregnancy.
<ACCURATE ANSWER> 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.
