A young unmarried woman (age 17) was admitted to the hospital with excessive uterine bleeding, which she explained was connected with her monthly period. She stated that this had occurred several times over the course of the past year and was of great concern to her. A student nurse, of the approximate age of the patient, was caring for her the day after admission. After the student had established rapport with her, the patient confided to the student that she had been certain she was pregnant and had taken some medication e that she had been told would bring about an abortion. She insisted that she did not want anyone-not even the doctor-to know about this. She asked the student to promise not to tell anyone, particularly not the doctor. What should the nursing student do? What alternatives are open to her? List as many alternatives for action in this situation as you can. (Remember: Do not limit yourself to the obvious, or those actions you already feel would be morally acceptable) Choose two ethical theories. Give your understanding of your choice and give two examples each where you can apply those theories.
