1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that the unit
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
offers therapeutic abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's personal beliefs. What
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
is the nurse's ethical obligation to these clients?
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
service to these clients.
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
different nursing role.
qqqq qqqq qqqq
C. The nurse should decline to care for the client’s considering abortion.
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
D. The nurse should express alternatives to women considering terminating their pregnancy.

ANS: B q q q q
Rationale: To avoid facing the ethical dilemma of providing care that contradicts the
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
nurse’s personal beliefs, the nurse should consider working in an area of nursing that
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
would not pose this dilemma. The nurse should not provide care to the client because it
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
is a conflict of personal values. The nurse should not deny care to these clients as this
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
would be a breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the client is not requesting
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
information for alternatives to abortions, then the nurse should not be providing this

2. An 80-year-old client is admitted with a diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia.
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
During admission the client states, "I have a living will." What implication of this should
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
the nurse recognize?

A. This document is always honored, regardless of circumstances.
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
B. This document specifies the client's wishes before hospitalization.

C. This document is binding for the duration of the client's life.
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
D. This document has been drawn up by the client's family to determine DNR status.
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
ANS: B q q q q
Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living wills
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
are limited to situations in which the client's medical condition is deemed terminal. The
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
other answers are incorrect because living wills are not always honored in every
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
circumstance, they are not binding for the duration of the client's life, and they are not
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
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
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
maintain the ethical principle of nonmaleficence. Which of the following actions would be
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
considered a violation of this principle?
qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq qqqq
