A member of a patient's family calls the nurse manager of the palliative care unit to express concern that a member of the family, who died on the weekend, had requested analgesics from the RNs on duty.
 
  An RN came with the analgesic nearly 45 minutes later, just after the patient had died. The manager is aware that the unit was especially busy that weekend because many patients were seriously ill, staff had called in ill, and the staffing manager was unable to completely replace staff who were absent. The manager is deeply troubled that the family member had to die in pain because it violates what she knows should have been done. This manager is experiencing:
 
  a. Compromised agency.
  b. Moral distress.
  c. Moral sensitivity.
  d. Moral dilemma.

Question 2

Mr. M. complains to you that one of your staff asked him details about his sexual relationships and financial affairs.
 
  He says that these questions were probing and unnecessary to his care, but he felt that if he refused to answer, the nurse would be angry with him and would not provide him with good care. Mr. M.'s statements reflect concern with:
 
  a. Privacy.
  b. Confidentiality.
  c. Veracity.
  d. Informed consent.
