1. A nurse has been offered a position on an obstetric unit and has learned that th
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg




eunit offers therapeutic abortions, a procedure that contradicts the nurse's perso
v

nalbeliefs. What is the nurse's ethical obligation to these clients?
v
g vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg




A. The nurse should adhere to professional standards of practice and offer servi

ceto these clients.

B. The nurse should make the choice to decline this position and pursue a differen

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 nursin

clientbecause it is a conflict of personal values. The nurse should not deny care t

o theseclients as this would be a breach in the Code of Ethics for nurses. If the clie
