In the State where this occurred, abortion was legal and both the girl's parents and the doctor involved supported the decision after considerable deliberation. However, a newly graduated nurse on duty in another ward at the hospital, heard about the case and went to the ward where the teenager was being assessed. The nurse told the teenager that abortion was sinful and that she would be 'punished' The ward staff asked the nurse to leave. The nurse then rang the parents and harassed them about their decision. While at work the following day, she also called a pro- life organisation, asking them to set up a protest outside the hospital. The nurse again visited the teenager, offering to take the baby if she continued with the pregnancy rather than have the abortion. The ward staff again asked the nurse to leave. s ams The patient and the parents were very upset by the activities of the nurse and the abortion was postponed for two days. The parents went to the Director of Nursing at the hospital to complain about the actions of the nurse, while the doctor brought charges of ethical misconduct against the nurse to the Nurses' Registering Authority. deo 1. Identify the facts and ethical issues of the case study. 2. If you were a member of the Nurses' Registering Authority hearing this case, what verdict would you come to? Using the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Council (ANMC) Code of Ethics for Nurses in Australia, Code of Professional Conduct for Nurses in Australia, justify your response. 3. Discuss what could guide nursing behaviours, if a nurse finds that strong personal values are in conflict with his/her professional role. 9:15 PM 5/25/2022
