MULTIPLE CHOICE
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 Client’s Considering Abortion.
D. The Nurse Should Express Alternatives To Women Considering Terminating Their
Pregnancy.
CORRECT 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.
D. This Document Has Been Drawn Up By The Client's Family To Determine Dnr
Status.
,CORRECT ANS: B
Rationale: A Living Will Is One Type Of Advance Directive. In Most Situations,
Living Wills Are Limited To Situations In Which The Client's Medical Condition Is
Deemed Terminal. The Other Answers Are Incorrect Because Living Wills Are Not
Always Honored In Every Circumstance, They Are Not Binding 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 Ethical Principle Of Nonmaleficence. Which Of The
Following Actions Would Be Considered A Violation Of This Principle?
A. Discussing A Dnr Order With A Terminally Ill Client
B. Assisting A Semi-Independent Client With Adls
C. Refusing To Administer Pain Medication As Prescribed
D. Providing More Care For One Client Than For Another
CORRECT ANS: C
Rationale: The Duty Not To Inflict As Well As Prevent And Remove Harm Is
Termed Nonmaleficence. Discussing A Dnr Order With A Terminally Ill Client And
Assisting A Client With Adls Would Not Be Considered Contradictions To The
Nurse's Duty Of Nonmaleficence. Some Clients Justifiably Require More Care Than
Others.

4. A Nurse Has Begun Creating A Client's Plan Of Care Shortly After The Client's
Admission. The Nurse Knows That It Is Important That The Wording Of The Chosen
Nursing Diagnoses Falls Within The Taxonomy Of Nursing. Which Organization Is
Responsible For Developing The Taxonomy Of A Nursing Diagnosis?
A. American Nurses Association (Ana)
B. North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (Nanda)
C. National League For Nursing (Nln)
D. Joint Commission
, CORRECT ANS: B
Rationale: Nanda International Is The Official Organization Responsible For
Developing The Taxonomy Of Nursing Diagnoses And Formulating Nursing
Diagnoses Acceptable For Study. The Ana, Nln, And Joint Commission Are Not
Charged With The Task Of Developing The Taxonomy Of Nursing Diagnoses.

5. A Medical Nurse Has Obtained A New Client's Health History And Has Completed
The Admission Assessment. The Nurse Followed This By Documenting The Results
And Creating A Care Plan For The Client. Which Of The Following Is The Most
Important Rationale For Documenting The Client's Care?
A. It Provides Continuity Of Care.
B. It Creates A Teaching Log For The Family.
C. It Verifies Appropriate Staffing Levels.
D. It Keeps The Client Fully Informed.
CORRECT ANS: A
Rationale: This Record Provides A Means Of Communication Among Members Of
The Health Care Team And Facilitates Coordinated Planning And Continuity Of
Care. It Serves As The Legal And Business Record For A Health Care Agency And
For The Professional Staff Members Who Are Responsible For The Client's Care.
Documentation Is Not Primarily A Teaching Log; It Does Not Verify Staffing; And It
Is Not Intended To Provide The Client With Information About Treatments.
