A nurse manager has a staff nurse who observes certain religious holidays. The manager tries to make sure that these observances can be met if possible. The manager is practicing which of the following values?

1. Human dignity
2. Social justice
3. Autonomy
4. Altruism

ANSWER

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Human dignity is respect for the inherent worth and uniqueness of individuals and populations. That is not the value described here.
Rationale 2: Social justice is upholding moral, legal, and humanistic principles. That is not the value described here.
Rationale 3: Autonomy is the right to self-determination, and professional practice reflects autonomy when the nurse respects patients’ rights to make decisions about their health care. That is not the value described here.
Rationale 4: Altruism is a concern for the welfare and well-being of others. A professional behavior of this value is demonstrating the understanding of cultures, beliefs, and perspectives of others.
