that apply.

C. Forces others to think about health issues and nurses’ power.
D. Helps coerce others to become partners in the nurse’s dream.

ANS: A, B, F
Discussing our dream or vision empowers us and helps us remember why we do what
we do. It also allows others to become involved and to recognize new possibilities.
Expressing our visions also provides an opportunity for others to become partners in
working for what might be, not only the broader vision but also in relation to specific
projects. Nurses do not force or coerce others and often work with other professions on
issues related to health.
Cognitive Level: Knowledge
While the nurse’s practice should be consistent with employing agency policies, legal
mandates, and professional standards, the nurse must seek a balance between
individual autonomy and other individual rights and the rights of all other community
members. It is a delicate balance.
Cognitive Level: Knowledge
6. When caring for a family or community, what is one of the most important variables
for the care to be acceptable to the recipients?
8. In a situation in which there are not enough resources to care for everyone who
wants and could benefit from care, what would an ethical community/public health
nurse do?
9. When faced with an ethical conflict about limited resources and unlimited need,
which action is the most just?
A. Give care to those patients whose needs most closely match the nurse’s abilities.
B. Give care to whichever prospective clients ask for care first.
C. Just work as hard as you can and do not worry about it.
D. Follow personal clinical expertise and preferences.
E. Try to achieve the outcome of the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
ANS: E
While option B fulfills the criteria of egalitarian (equal) justice, it is a short-term
answer to an ongoing problem. Option E describes a utilitarian approach to justice,
which is more helpful when dealing with large populations such as those seen by the
community/public health nurse.
