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

2. An 80-year-old client is admitted with a diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia. During
w w w w w w w w w w w
admission the client states, "I have a living will." What implication of this should the nurse
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
recognize?
w
A. This document is always honored, regardless of circumstances.
w w w w w w w
B. This document specifies the client's wishes before hospitalization.
w w w w w w w
C. This document is binding for the duration of the client's life.
w w w w w w w w w w
D. This document has been drawn up by the client's family to determine DNR status.
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
ANS: B w
Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living wills are
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
limited to situations in which the client's medical condition is deemed terminal. The other answers
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
are incorrect because living wills are not always honored in every circumstance, they are not
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
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
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
ethical principle of nonmaleficence. Which of the following actions would be considered a
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
violation of this principle?
w w w w
A. Discussing a DNR order with a terminally ill client w w w w w w w w
B. Assisting a semi-independent client with ADLs w w w w w
C. Refusing to administer pain medication as prescribed
