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

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

3. A nurse has been providing ethical care for many years and is aware of the need to maintain the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
ethical principle of nonmaleficence. Which of the following actions would be considered a violation
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr
of this principle?
