Nursing Review Questions #2

Q : Kathryn, a 16-year-old young woman, approaches a nurse and discloses that she is pregnant. Kathryn asks the nurse how she can obtain a therapeutic abortion. The nurse responds by stating, “You can’t do that. It is immoral, and you will regret that decision for the rest of your life.” The nurse is demonstrating which the following?

1.Client-focused care. 

2.Leadership. 

3.Abuse. 

4.Advocacy.


Answer: 3


rationale: The nurse should be client focused and act as an advocate for the client. An effective nurse is often a leader, but in this case, she has put her own biases before the needs of the client and may influence the client’s decisions. This is considered abuse.
