TEST BANK BRUNNER & SUDDARTH'S TEXTBOOK OF
MEDICAL-SURGICAL NURSING JANICE L HINKLE, KERRY H. CHEEVER, KRISTEN OVERBAUGH 15TH
EDITION

, Chapter 1: Professional Nursing Practice
Hinkle: Brunner & Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, 15th Edition


MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that the unit offers
therapeuticabortions, 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
theseclients.
B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a different
nursingrole.
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.


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. Thenurse should not provide care to the client because it is a conflict of personal
values. The nurse shouldnot deny care to these clients as this would be a breach in the Code of
Ethics for nurses. If the client isnot 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.


ANS: B
Rationale: A living will is one type of advance directive. In most situations, living wills are
limited tosituations in which the client's medical condition is deemed terminal. The other
answers are incorrectbecause 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
ethicalprinciple 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
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 morecare than others.

4. A nurse has begun creating a client's plan of care shortly after the client's admission. The nurse
knowsthat 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


ANS: B
Rationale: NANDA International is the official organization responsible for developing the
taxonomyof 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.


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 toprovide the client with information about treatments.
