A community health nurse (CHN) facing an ethical dilemma is not able to determine which option would have the best outcome. She talks to her supervisor and lets the supervisor decide which action to take. Into which ethical category does the CHN's decision fall?
A) The decision is appropriate because the supervisor is responsible for the CHN's choices.
B) The decision is intelligent because the supervisor has access to resource persons (spiritual leaders, physicians, administrators) who may know of options that the CHN has not considered.
C) The decision is advisable, but only as an opportunity to further discuss the issue, because ultimately the CHN is still responsible for her own choice.
D) The decision is smart because the supervisor would be more aware of community priorities.
