MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A good friend of the licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/LVN) confides that she is
in a serious romantic relationship with a man the LPN/LVN had as a patient when he was
diagnosed with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The policies of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) prevent the nurse from warning
her friend. This situation is a moral:
a. Dilemma
b. Uncertainty
c. Distress
d. Outrage
ANS: C
Moral distress occurs when a nurse feels powerless because moral beliefs cannot be
honored because of institutional or other barriers.
2. The nurse reminds a resident in a long-term care facility that he has autonomy in many
aspects of his institutionalization. One example is:
a. Selection of medication times
b. Availability of his own small electrical appliances
c. Smoking in the privacy of his own room
d. Application of advance directives
ANS: D
The application of advance directives is an autonomous decision. Agency protocols
relative to medication times, access to private electrical devices, and smoking are rarely
waived; these policies are not in the control of the resident.

d. Joining the National Association for Practical Nurse Education & Service
(NAPNES) and attending educational seminars
ANS: A
Beneficence means promoting good and reducing harm. Removing defective equipment
demonstrates that the LPN/LVN is reducing possible harm to the patient. Working extra
shifts, adhering to policy, and joining NAPNES are personal values, not beneficence.
4. The LPN/LVN reminds a group of nursing students that the values they demonstrate in
their practice have their roots in:
a. Nursing school education
b. Family influence
c. Peer relationships
d. Agency policies
ANS: B
The family shapes values that are demonstrated in later life. These values may be
enhanced or challenged by life experiences, but the base is forged in the family.
5. One obstetric nurse remarks, “I don’t see how these young single women can keep on
having babies without being married. Everyone knows a child needs a father.” This nurse
is exhibiting:
a. Ethnocentrism
b. Moral uncertainty
c. Values clarification
d. Professional concern
ANS: A
Ethnocentricity is the belief that one’s own culture and values are superior to those of
another. Such statements are based on values clarification and, perhaps, on moral outrage.
6. When a student asks the instructor to define the philosophic stand of utilitarianism, the
instructor gives the example of:
a. An army officer sacrifices six paratroopers to save 100 prisoners of war.
b. A priest burns down his church because it was defiled by Satanists.

c. A mother jumps off a cliff with her baby to avoid being captured by Indians.
d. A soldier murders captured enemies to prevent their divulging military secrets.
ANS: A
The sacrifice of six to save 100 is an example of the greater good. The other options are
based on the philosophy of deontology.
7. The LPN/LVN explains to a patient that the hospital has an Institutional Ethics
Committee whose main function is to:
a. Preside over policy implementation
b. Revoke the license of someone who violates the law
c. Solve personnel disputes
d. Ensure that hiring adheres to ethnic equality
ANS: A
The main job of the Institutional Ethics Committee is to preside over the implementation
of agency policy.
8. The LPN/LVN charted that “the patient was drunk and acted in a crazy manner.” The
team leader has cautioned that such documentation would leave the LPN/LVN open to
charges of commission of the intentional tort of:
a. Assault
b. Wrongful publication
c. Defamation of character
d. Invasion of privacy
ANS: C
Charting or saying unsupported defamatory statements can lead to tort litigation.
9. When the LPN/LVN assists an older woman to stand after a fall in a shopping mall
parking lot, the woman twists and sprains her ankle. The LPN/LVN is protected from
litigation or an unintentional tort by:
a. Hospital malpractice insurance
b. Good faith agreement

And then the Queen once more poured into her friend’s ears her
doubts and fears as to her future and that of Charles IV.
From the time Maria Antonia of Naples married the eighteen-
year-old Prince of Asturias in 1802, she proved herself an active
partisan of her husband and his tutor Escoiquiz, and if she had lived
longer her clear-sightedness might have prevented the surrender of
Spain to Bonaparte.
In obedience to her mother, Queen Caroline of Naples, the
Princess of Asturias was unremitting in her efforts to contravert the
plans of her irreconcilable enemy Napoleon, which were
subsequently furthered by the short-sighted policy of Godoy and
Maria Luisa. Secret and almost daily were the letters which passed
between Princess Maria Antonia and Queen Caroline, and, as the
correspondence was conducted in cipher, it entered the Court of
Naples without attracting any attention, and thus many diplomatic
secrets from Madrid travelled thence to England. In the bitter warfare
of personal hatred and political intrigue no accusations were too bad
to be levelled by one part of the Spanish Royal Family against the
other.
The partisans of the Prince and Princess of Asturias declared that
Godoy and Maria Luisa filled the King’s mind with suspicions against
Ferdinand, even to the point of attributing parricidal thoughts to him,
so that the King might disinherit him and put Godoy in his place. And
the followers of Godoy declared that the Princess of Asturias not
only had designs against the Prince of the Peace, but against the
Sovereigns themselves.
The secret correspondence between Queen Caroline and her
daughter was found years afterwards in the house of the Duke of
Infantado, and it showed the hatred of the Prince and his wife
towards the Queen’s favourite, whilst speaking of the King as if he
already had one foot in the grave. One of these letters to Naples was
intercepted by Napoleon, and it fully convinced him of the part
played by Prince Ferdinand and his wife with regard to France.
The people’s discontent with Godoy was fostered by Ferdinand’s
followers, and, indeed, the government of the turbulent country
required a more expert hand than that of the favourite.
The clergy were also enraged when they heard that the Minister
had received a Bull from Rome for the reform of the monastic
