Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nurses must always be aware of their own personal feelings, biases, and values when providing care to patients. This is especially important when dealing with ethical dilemmas and complex issues such as genetic screening. The nurse must be prepared to offer emotional support and guidance to the parents, while also recognizing the parents' autonomy to make their own decisions based on the information available to them. However, the nurse should not be expected to participate in actions that contradict their personal ethics, and the parents do not necessarily need to be aware of the nurse's personal feelings about the information available.
