MULTIPLE CHOICE j|jujukr




1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that the
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



unit offers therapeutic abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's personal
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



beliefs. What is the nurse's ethical obligation to these clients?
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



service to these clients.
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



different nursing role.j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



C. The nurse should decline to care for the client’s considering abortion.
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



D. The nurse should express alternatives to women considering terminating their pregnancy.
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr




ANS: B j | j u j u k r



Rationale: To avoid facing the ethical dilemma of providing care that contradicts the
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



nurse’s personal beliefs, the nurse should consider working in an area of nursing
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



that would not pose this dilemma. The nurse should not provide care to the
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



client because it is a conflict of personal values. The nurse should not deny care
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



to these clients as this would be a breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



the client is not requesting information for alternatives to abortions, then the nurse
j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr



should not be providing this information.

j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr j|jujukr

Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living
