Discuss in your initial post: 1) how Provisions 1-4 of the Nurse Code of Ethics applied or did not apply to Josie’s Story, 2) how you plan to apply those provisions in your nursing practice, and 3) a description of an ethical issue you have observed or heard discussed. Cite your sources.
Nurses have a tremendous ethical responsibility to their patients. I hope you will always respect this and adhere to the standards which have been written whether they are: institutional policies, professional standards, or legal mandates. Adherence to these standards is for the protection of both you and your patients.
This assignment is intended to encourage you to critically think about how you will care and advocate for your patients, engage in ethical behavior, and protect yourself legally.
