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.


ANS: 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.

2. An 80-year-old client is admitted with a diagnosis of community-acquired
pneumonia. During admission the client states, "I have a living will." What
implication of this should the nurse recognize?
A. This document is always honored, regardless of circumstances.
B. This document specifies the client's wishes before hospitalization.
C. This document is binding for the duration of the client's life.
