This within-profession familiarity engenders confidence and trust, which can be crucial in ethics case where professional confidences are necessary, especially a nurse ethicist (Wood, 2014).…

The ethical issues in nursing as well as the situations where such issues arise are being encountered by health practitioners on a daily basis.

The nursing code of ethics is a guide that nurses follow when making decisions regarding ethical issues. “It provides a social contract with the society served, as well as ethical and legal guidance to all members of the profession” (Lachman, 2009).…
Ethical Issues Relevant to DNP As the healthcare environment continues to become more multifaceted and challenging, the need for nursing practice specialists who also have know-how in ethics is obvious. “Issues related to social justice, allocation of healthcare resources and the futility of healthcare at the end of life are all examples of ethical scenarios that DNP graduates may find themselves facing in their various roles” (Chism, 2012). There are many ethical dilemmas that influence DNP practitioners' ability to provide quality care to all. As the opportunity and independence of DNP practice increases, so, too, will ethical dilemmas that directly influence this practice (Peirce & Smith, 2008).…
Every individual has a personal, unique set of morals. The same is true for professions; each having a specific set of morals that determine practice. For the nursing profession, ethical principles, ethical frameworks and theories, and ethical competencies have been identified and developed based on practicing morals. The future advanced practice nurse (APN) will identify a practice specialty, state the previously chosen phenomenon of interest (POI) and relate three ethical principles and one framework to the chosen POI and her future practice.…

People have always wondered who are the people that take care of family or friends while they are sick? Many people think that the doctors take care of the patients their whole stay but that is not true, behind the scenes the nurse practitioners take care of the patients. Nurse practitioners have a very difficult job and many hard duties to complete while they are taking care of many sick patients in the hospital.…
Prior to this assignment, I thought that medical ethics meant to practice nursing as a prudent nurse would practice, in a socially acceptable way. Ethical behavior is one doing what is right rather than what is wrong. I knew that all medical professionals had to comply with patient confidentiality, but I did not realize that all medical professionals, including writers, were held accountable just as if they were providing bedside patient care. I never considered medical writing before and never wrote medical information, other than charting. Charting is a big part of patient care, so naturally I understood the ethical responsibilities that were associated with charting. I also knew that research professionals were also held to high ethical standards because of their interaction with medical patients. After this assignment, I realized I knew less than I thought I did about medical ethics. I learned that all medical professionals, regardless of their position, are held to a high ethical standard.…
Nursing has a well-known history of concern and interest for the welfare of the sick, injured and vulnerable for social justice. Nursing incorporates prevention of illness, reducing suffering, and the protection, promotion, and renovation of health. Ethics is been an essential part of the basis of nursing and it is self-reflective, enduring and distinctive. In the professional course, a nurse encounters with different types of patients, several types of families and varied situations. Every patient has certain rights and a nurse has to respect them in both legal and ethical aspects. Confidentiality is important to create confidence between nurses and patients. Without promising privacy to their matters, patients will be hesitant to share important information to health care professionals which may be necessary for their care. Respecting patient’s confidentiality is a legal requirement and also a professional, ethical and legal duty. By law, breaching confidentiality may end in unlawful condemnation and punishments…
