FAQs
What are clinical ethics?
Clinical ethics deals with the principles and theories of ethical decision-making in a clinical context, as well as the ethical dilemmas that healthcare professionals encounter.
What is the nursing code of ethics?
Nurses are governed by a body of ethical conduct perpetuated through the work of the ANA, which is called the Code of Ethics for Nurses. It comprises the ethical principles nurses have sworn to uphold as licensed healthcare professionals. It is governed by four main principles: autonomy, beneficence, justice, and nonmaleficence.
What is patient autonomy?
Autonomy is when a person makes decisions based upon their own beliefs, feelings, and ideas without the undue influence of the desires of others. Allowing patients to operate autonomously or in accordance with their morality and values is a way for nurses to exhibit the traits of veracity in nursing.
What is beneficience in nursing?
Beneficence is the act of being kind and taking mercy upon others. As a nurse, you are granted the gift and charged with the tremendous responsibility of providing care to the most vulnerable among us. Performing duties with kindness, mercy, and charity are ways to uphold the ethical principle of beneficence in nursing.
What is non-maleficence in nursing?
You may have heard the phrase, “first, do no harm.” This refers to the ethical principle of nonmaleficence, where nurses are sanctioned to prioritize patient safety above all else.
