Question 4 of 5
A nurse working in a labor and birth unit is asked to take care of two high-risk patients in the labor and birth suite: a 34 weeks’ gestation 28-year-old gravida 3, para 2 in preterm labor and a 40-year-old gravida 1, para 0 who is severely preeclamptic. The nurse refuses this assignment telling the charge nurse that based on individual patient acuity, each patient should have one-on-one care. Which ethical principle is the nurse advocating?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Justice is the ethical principle that involves fair and equal distribution of resources and care. In this scenario, the nurse is advocating for justice by asserting that each high-risk patient should receive one-on-one care based on their individual acuity levels. By refusing to take on both patients simultaneously, the nurse is advocating for fairness and equal opportunity for proper care and attention for each patient. This is in line with the principle of justice, which emphasizes the importance of treating all individuals fairly and providing them with the appropriate level of care they need.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is educating a 24-year-old female patient who was newly diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The patient was prescribed an antidiabetic medication. Which medication effects should the nurse educate the patient about? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A. A period of initial weight gain: The nurse should educate the patient about the potential for initial weight gain when starting an antidiabetic medication. This can be a common side effect, and it is important for the patient to be aware of it to avoid unnecessary concern. Weight gain may occur due to factors such as fluid retention or changes in metabolism.
