Which of the following would demonstrate that the client has resolved the moral dilemma he was facing? 1. The client is observed watching television and reading the paper.
2. The client is seen talking with the parents of the young victim and thanking them for their son's gift of life.
3. The client asked the physician how many years the new kidney added to his life.
4. The client is overhead phoning a travel agent and making plans for a trip in two months.
2. The client is seen talking with the parents of the young victim and thanking them for their son's gift of life.
Rationale:
The client was having a moral dilemma regarding receiving the kidney of a young victim of an accident. The client talking with the parents of the victim is evidence that the moral dilemma was resolved. The client needed to face the moral dilemma and resolve it before he could move on. The other statements do not demonstrate a client experiencing a moral dilemma and are incorrect.
