The nurse preceptor asks the nursing student to give an example of a potential
ethical dilemma. Which example given by the nursing student reflects an ethical
dilemma?
Answers :A nurse whose religious beliefs prohibit the use of contraception is
caring for a client that is seeking birth control.
An ethical dilemma exists when two or more rights, obligations, responsibilities, or
values come in conflict. The nurse whose religious beliefs prohibit the use of
contraception who is caring for a client that is seeking birth control best reflects a
potential ethical dilemma. Ethical beliefs that prohibit eating meat are congruent
with vegetarianism, supporting the right to abortion is congruent with considering
terminating a pregnancy, and valuing free will and independence is congruent with
autonomy.

>Emphasizing healthcare cost containment

healthcare costs Approving adequate staffing of nurses would help prevent the
development of ethical issues.
, The nursing student asks the nurse preceptor to describe the nurse's role when
caring for clients who request genetic testing. Which statement should the nurse
preceptor include in the description?
Answers :"Nurses who serve clients who may undergo testing for inherited
illnesses should examine the clients' personal beliefs about genetic testing."
When professional practice includes serving clients who may undergo testing for
inherited illnesses, nurses should examine the clients' personal beliefs and values
about genetic testing. Increasing media coverage about genetics has led to greater
awareness among clients and healthcare consumers regarding the potential for
inheriting medical conditions. The nursing Code of Ethics supports clients' rights
to receive information and counseling about making genetic testing decisions.
Nurses should also know their state's legal requirements, including whether
parental consent is required for a minor to seek genetic testing and counseling.
The nurse unit manager is creating a policy related to the nursing care of clients
who are diagnosed with HIV or AIDS. Which item best reflects a standard of
nursing care and should be included in the policy?
Answers :Nurses are morally obligated to care for clients with AIDS unless the
nurse's safety risks exceed the potential client benefits.
According to an ANA position statement, the nurse is morally obligated to care for
clients with HIV or AIDS unless the nurse's safety risks exceed the potential
benefits to the client. Examples of ethical concerns related to HIV and AIDS
testing include mandating testing of healthcare providers and clients versus
allowing voluntary testing; notifying sexual partners or caregivers of clients who
are HIV positive; and releasing test results to insurance companies.
The nurse educator is leading a class discussion about factors that affect the nurse's
function as a moral agent. When discussing potential sources of ethical challenges,
which students' statements are most accurate?
