A registered nurse has been asked to join the ethics committee of the hospital.
 
  In considering this appointment, the nurse would recognize that the committee might be considering ethical situations including: Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Issuance of a Do Not Resuscitate (allow natural death) order on a child who has been determined brain dead against the wishes of the parents.
  2. Determining if a minor child who disagrees with the parents about the treatment plan can make an informed decision.
  3. Determining if a non-salvageable newborn can be used as an organ donor.
  4. Investigating a medication error.
  5. Consulting and intervening when parents are not in agreement on decisions of health care for their child.

Rationale 1: Ethical issues arise when the health care team must make decisions regarding potential outcome for the child and the beneficence of treatment.
Rationale 2: Informed decisions and the rights of the individual are legal issues, not ethical issues.
Rationale 3: Issues of organ donations and waiting lists for organs involve ethical issues that might be presented to the hospital ethics committee.
Rationale 4: Medication errors do not involve ethical issues but are system failures that need to be investigated.
Rationale 5: Staff nurses may work with parents in conflict resolution; it is not a function of an ethics committee.
