Consider the following examples. For each person, what moral/spiritual judgments must the nurse be careful not to make?
• A nurse is caring for a gay man who is hospitalized with end-stage AIDS.
• A woman has come to the clinic to be treated for gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted disease). She says she has had at least six sexual partners this year.
• A man comes to the emergency department (ED) at least once a month to ask for morphine to treat his back pain. He is known to abuse drugs and to visit other EDs for the same purpose.
