Chapter 1: Quality of Life and Ethical Issues
1. A nurse is planning care related to Chapter 'Quality of Life and Ethical
Issues'. Which action best reflects the assessment priority when the goal is
rights-based practice?
A. Prioritize a structured, patient-centered plan that addresses quality of life and
ethical issues while using current assessment data and timely reassessment.
B. Delay intervention until all possible secondary concerns are clarified, even if
priority findings are already present.
C. Use a routine approach that is unrelated to the patient’s current presentation so
care remains standardized.
D. Focus documentation on completed tasks only and omit the response to
interventions until the end of the shift.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This option is best because it integrates assessment, intervention, and
evaluation in a way that is directly tied to quality of life and ethical issues. A
structured, patient-centered response supports safer decisions, earlier detection of
deterioration, and clearer communication with the team. The other options are
weaker because they either delay needed care, ignore individualized findings, or
separate documentation from clinical reasoning. High-quality nursing care in this
content area depends on linking observed cues to prompt action and then
reassessing whether the chosen strategy improved outcomes.
