You are the nurse working on the night shift. You are assigned a middle-aged client who was admitted through the emergency room 4 hours previously. The lab work is not completed or available.

The client is from another city, so the family has not been in. The attending physician has not yet seen the client, who seems somewhat confused. The charge nurse has requested that a sedating medication be given. The provider has been called, and a telephone order for a sedative has been received. You are in conflict about this medication order because you believe it violates the ethical principle of: a. beneficence
b. confidentiality
c. fidelity
d. justice

Answer to Question 1

A
You are in conflict about this medication order because you believe it violates the ethical principle of beneficence.Your concern is that the lab work is not available to determine whether negative consequences could occur as a result of the medication.Benefice nce is the view that all treatments must be for the client's good.

Answer to Question 2

A
Exhibitionism is a paraphilia dealing with a person who gains sexual gratification from exposing his or her genitalia to others. Some exhibitionists gain gratification from shocking their victims. For others, the gratification comes from fantasizing that their exposure will result in sexual interest in them on behalf of their victims. Very rarely do exhibitionists pursue their sexual overtures beyond exposing themselves, toward more aggressive action.
