individually in law for their patients. Every nursing facility should have legal knowledge about the facility that they work in, it is also important to know this for the safety of patients. Regulation increases is due to clinical research. There are also healthcare decisions that have been the source of controversy. One of the biggest ones is probably the patients who seek access to contraception and abortion. The ethical part of this is when nurses object to involvement in prescribing the morning-after pill or being involved in abortion procedures. The National Health Science (NHS) is a crucial part towards patient safety and it is the key for nurses to navigate areas. They also have a risk management program, which contributes to reduce the number of incidents that lead to claims. Nurses should be aware of the wide range of laws that deal with their facility and scope. Since nurse leads have enhanced roles they come are sure to know enhanced legal responsibilities.

This article talks about the common law and duty of care as well as the application of principles. In this article there are two themes the first is awareness of the elements of common law that operate to inform us of the duties as health providers and the second one is the current information that applies in each of the areas of law. There are four important areas of the common law. The first is the encompassing legal perspectives that inform practice is the principle of the duty of care. Another principle is that we owe a legal duty not to cause harm to those who rely on our declarations of professional competence is woven into all other debates and reflections of legal duties. The third principle is that the health providers have to observe a competent adult’s rights to refuse treatment and care. Lastly, health care providers have to act in the best interest of an incompetent person, even if this offends or distresses the provider, with that provider also has to protect and provide confidentiality. The principles that have been listed above are so crucial to the health facilities, and these are accepted legal and ethical guides that assist in forming professional behavior. Health care providers have different understanding and learning capacities of health issues and the complex organization. It is crucial for a healthcare provider to progress through complex situations that they face daily. If a healthcare provider does not assert legal or ethical principles that mean that they do not understand the principles nor have they applied those to their own understanding, which means that they would not be able to apply those for other peoples benefit. After all that it can lead to a breach of duty of the care that was owed, it is not good if this occurs because the main principles of common law and ethics have been well stated and presented to all healthcare providers. Some providers have said that they do not need to recognize the current levels of professional accountability and clinical responsibility when being traditionally in nursing. Healthcare providers use legal and ethical principles to help them in their practice.

This article talks about the legal implications of nurses stealing from patients.
It is when a nurse gets a report from a patient that a co-worker has been stealing from the patient. Nurses have a crystal clear duty to assure that the patients are properly cared for under the Code of Professional Conduct (NMC, 2004). If nurses are ever in doubt of their co-workers they must do whatever it takes to make sure that the patient is being protected and must minimize the risk to patients. If a nurse does think that a co-worker is stealing they must advise the patient to put it into writing and that they will make sure it gets to their senior manager. Even if that patient was not ready to put in a written compliant the nurse should make that the patient knew that the complaint will still be looked into. The role of the manager would be to get a statement of grounds for action, meeting, and an appeal. The police could also possibly to an investigation of their own. Another thing that could possibly happen is that the patient could be having mental delusions and paranoid thoughts, which could lead to accusations, but that does not mean that it should not be reported and looked into. No healthcare provider can receive any sort of gifts or favors from the patients. It is difficult for both parties that are involved in a situation like …show more content…

This article talks about the legal principles of confidentiality and other public interests.
The principles of confidentiality are important to nurses and all other health professionals. The common law identifies confidentiality and it supports it because it is very important. There are new rules and protocols that are being formed and regulated such as the midwifery council show rules in their codes of professional conduct. There is a debate about how confidentiality may bend and innovate ways to attain, store, utilize, and communicate data. Confidentiality is written by the Human Rights Act 1998. A doctor and patient relationship should be held to the highest degree by legal precedent. Public safety is highly important because when it is considered judicially, it can override confidentiality, as well as professional duty to care and to avoid causing harm. It is crucial to keep intact certain principles in the medical
field.
