222 1. Ethical Principles, code of ethics and examples of
each
1. Advocacy
a. A nurse can uphold advocacy by giving patients a voice in their health care, like
allowing them to refuse treatment. Nurses give patients legal representation when
they can’t do it for themselves.
b. A nurse could violate this principle by giving out the patient’s information to a
person who does have the legal right to know it.
2. Responsibility
a. A nurse can uphold responsibility by giving a patient’s medicine on their schedule
as indicated by the doctor.
b. A nurse could violate this principle by not giving the exact dose of medicine at the
wrong time. That would be failing responsibility of the doctor’s orders.
3. Accountability
a. A nurse can uphold accountability by showing up to work early and on time so they
can prepare for their shift and read reports from the previous shift.
b. A nurse could violate this principle by showing up late to work. This would cause the
coworkers to stay and cover the shift until that nurse arrives. It also impacts the
patients who are being taken care of because the nurse from the previous shift could
be working more than 12 hours at that point.
4. Confidentiality
a. A nurse can uphold confidentiality by only discussing a patient’s medical condition
with people who are authorized.
b. A nurse could violate this principle by talking to a friend at lunch about the
medical condition of a patient. It violates the patient’s privacy.
5. Social Networking
a. A nurse can uphold social networking by joining groups for nursing education or
the American Nurses Association.
b. A nurse could violate this principle by updating their Facebook status and
complaining about a patient’s actions during the shift.
2. Nursing standards of care
considered the baseline for quality care. They must be developed while assessing the
state and federal rules, regulations and laws that govern the practice of nursing. Other
agencies and organizations may also assist in the development of these standards.
Standards of care apply equally to nurses in various settings
3. Nursing and Health Promotion
History 4. Role of the Nurse in Promoting
Health
Nurses provide patients the information they need to manage and ultimately
improve their health. A nurse's work environment makes it easy to take advantage of
a routine interaction with a patient and use it as an opportunity to educate.
