Feedback
A Incorrect—
Ethics encourages nurses to respect the values of others and assists in understand
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


ing opposing points of view. Ethics offers tools to nurses to respectfully argue i
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


n favour of their positions while respecting the perspectives of others.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


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


arguments in support of it. Nurses ensure that all relevant information is shared wA
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


ith the team and the client.

The perspective of all team members is important and is based on the unique relati

Aonships each nurse has with the patient or client. gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi

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


A person’s autonomy, support him or her in making decisions aboutAwhat is best in

a particular context. This includes ensuring that patients are aware Aof all the optio

Reserved or controlled acts and the administration of narcotics are two examples
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi


of nursing actions governed by the law. A nurse may think an action is ―ethical,

‖ but it may not be legal. Nurses’ decisions sometimes have

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