Nursing Code of Ethics - -The nursing code of ethics is a statement of philosophical
ideals of right and wrong that define the principles you will use to provide care to your
patients. It is important for you to also incorporate your own values and ethics into your
practice. As you incorporate these values, explore what type of nurse you will be and
how you will function within the discipline (ANA, 2021; Fowler, 2015). Ask yourself how
your ethics, values, and practice compare with established standards. The ANA has a
number of publications that address ethics and human rights in nursing. The Code of
Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (ANA, 2015) lists the nine succinct
provisions and interpretive statements that establish the ethical framework for RNs'
practice across all roles, levels, and settings. Chapter 22 provides a review of the
nursing code of ethics and ethical principles for everyday practice.
Autonomy and Accountability - -Autonomy is an essential element of professional
nursing that involves the initiation of independent nursing interventions without medical
orders. Although the nursing profession regulates accountability through nursing audits
and standards of practice, you also need to develop a commitment to personal
professional accountability. For example, you independently implement coughing and
deep-breathing exercises to clear the lungs of secretions and promote oxygenation in a
patient who recently had major surgery. As you continue to care for this patient, a
complication arises. You note that the patient has a fever and the surgical wound has a
yellow-green discharge. You collaborate with other health care professionals to develop
the best treatment plan for this patient's surgical wound infection. With increased
autonomy comes greater responsibility and accountability.
Accountability means that you are responsible professionally and legally for the type
and quality of nursing care provided. This includes dependent, independent, and
interdependent nursing actions (see Chapter 18). You must remain current and
competent in nursing and scientific knowledge and technical skills.
Caregiver 1 - -As a caregiver you help patients maintain and regain health, manage
disease and symptoms, and attain a maximal level of function and independence
through the healing process. You provide evidence-based nursing care to promote
