A method of identifying a person's priorities in life, including values about God, family, truth, love, sex, and pleasure is known as:
a. cultural values c. personal values
b. ethical reasoning d. values clarification
D
Because of the diversity of nurse and client backgrounds in any health care setting, it is very likely that there will be a conflict between a nurse's values and the client's values. Thus it is essential for nurses to have a clear understanding of their own value systems and those of clients before conflicts in values arise, and to use this understanding to resolve such conflicts. The process of values clarification can be used to analyze personal values and to use this information when caring for clients who have different values.
