Assignment 1:
Ethical Principles: Film Review Paper (25 points)

The practice of
professional nursing challenges nurses to navigate ethical dilemmas in practice
as they advocate for effective, ethical health care. Ethical principles provide guidance for the
nurse charged with making ethical decisions while caring for their patients. As
stewards of ethical practice, nurses are responsible to uphold the professional
standards outlined in the Code of Ethics
for Nurses with Interpretative Statements ‘The Code’ (American Nurses
Association, 2015). The ability of the nurse to identify and analyze ethical
dilemmas is a critical professional competency. The opportunity to demonstrate an
understanding of the four classic ethical principles: autonomy, beneficence,
non-maleficence, and justice assists the nurse to meet ethical obligations of
care.
Reference:
American Nurses
Association (2015) Code of ethics for
nurses with interpretative statements. Silver Spring, MD: Fowler.
