ANA Code Of Ethics

The code of ethics is an essential part of the nursing profession to declare of the primary goals and values to maintain the professional relations with their clients by applying a code of ethics in their work life (Burkhardt, Nathaniel & Walton, 2014, p. 195). The CNA (Canadian Nurses Association) includes seven code of ethics for nurses to guide for maintaining ethical relationships, behaviors, responsibilities, and decision-making (CAN, 2008, p. 2).

Ethical practice is another component of the social contract of nursing which is a reflection of the values, beliefs and moral principles of the nursing profession. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has established the “Code of Ethics for Nurses” which serves as a “guideline” for the nursing profession in which clinical judgements and

Besides ColdFire, QEMU can emulate 68040 variant. As already said, for this purpose compilation of special QEMU fork would be required. Pre-compiled binaries are also available in relevant student folder name qemu-m68k. Instructions for using these binaries are available in APPENDIX B. Additionally, for testing Linux m68k port on qemu-system-m68k, one also requires to compile a minimal Linux kernel with minimal root file system. To make things simple, required precompiled kernel binary and a root files system image are also place in my student folder in directory named “Linux-m68k”.

Provisions 7, 8 and 9 of the ANA Code of Ethics are concentrating on a number of areas. The most notable include: advancing the profession through knowledge / development of high standards, taking into consideration the health needs of various stakeholders, asserting values / social reforms and maintaining intraprofessional integrity / collective responsibility. These different areas are designed to provide a foundation of dealing with

The main points of provision five of the ANA code of ethics are as follows: section 5.1, which is moral self-respect, suggests that nurses must care for themselves as much as they care for their patients. Nurses must do their best to maintain professional respect to themselves in regards of their competence and moral character. Section 5.2, which is professional growth and maintenance of competence, suggests that nurses must continue to self and peer evaluate themselves throughout their careers. Nurses must continue to learn current, up to date nursing practices through self, peer, and higher education. Section 5.3, which is wholeness of character, suggests that nurses must develop and take into consideration their own

The professional association that best represent my future career is NAADAC (National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors). The purpose of this organization is to help people have addiction problem. NAADAC’s members is made up of educators, counselors, and other addiction-focused health care professional.

The ANA Code of Ethics has nine provisions grouped into three areas; fundamental values and commitments of the nurse, the boundaries of duty and loyalty, and duties beyond individual patient encounters. ICN Code of Ethics is grouped into four areas; responsibility to the patient, responsibility and accountability to the nursing profession, development and implementation of standards of nursing care, and collaboration with other nurses and

The American Nurses Association defines privacy as: is the right to control access to, and disclosure and nondisclosure of, information pertaining to oneself and to control the circumstance, timing, and the extent to which any information can be disclosed (American Nurses Association, 2015, p. 9). Nurses must defend the patient’s right to privacy while advocating for an environment that provides sufficient physical privacy that includes privacy for any discussions of a personal nature. According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) (2011), any information may only be disclosed to other members of the health care team for health care purposes. Any confidential information shared should be done only

Nursing means being aware of patient’s beliefs, wants, and backgrounds without holding judgement or enforcing one’s own beliefs onto another. Nurses are supposed to be open-minded and put patients before themselves. In this situation, following the code of ethics in my practice allows me to act appropriately within my scope of practice. Treat the patient without any bias and ensure that they are supported, cared for, educated in their options, and ultimately

Nurses are faced with making difficult decisions for theirs patients on a daily occurrence. “The STOP model helps decision makers by reminding them to consider all elements and make a best rational choice to fit the situation.” (Godfrey & Crigger, 2012, p. 35) When faced with a daunting choice a nurse can use the STOP Model to help them decipher what exactly to do without becoming overwhelmed. Looking at the case study presented to us this is how I would analyze the situation using the STOP Model:

The American Nurses Association (ANA) has the Code of Ethics which holds Nurses to the codes or provisions of these documents. I summarized Provision 1 of the ANA 's Code of Ethics. I give a scenario where this provision is broken by the nursing staff and consequences of doing so. Provision 1: Provision 1 reads as follows “The nurse, in all professional relationships, practices with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth, and uniqueness of every individual, unrestricted by considerations of social or economic status, personal attributes, or the nature of health problems” (American Nurses Association 2001). Provision 1 is divided into five subdivisions. Provision 1.1 is titled “Respect for human dignity"(ANA 2001). The nurse always needs to place value on their patient as a unique individual. Provision 1.2 is titled “Relationships to patients” (ANA 2001). As a nurse you need to leave all prejudice, personal beliefs, and convictions out of the care of your patient. The patient’s self-worth and value is not defined by their religious choice, culture, lifestyle, hygiene, financial status, sex, and race. The nurse needs to form or follow an individual treatment plan that fits your patient’s personal preferences, religious beliefs, and requests. Provision 1.3 reads as follows “The nature of health problems” (ANA 2001). A nurse is not to judge or look down upon a patient by their "The disease, disability, or functional status “(ANA 2001).The nurse needs

The ANA named 2015 the “Year of Ethics,” which is highly appropriate due to the ever changing advancements in genomics (http://www.nursingworld.org/MainMenuCategories/EthicsStandards/CodeofEthicsforNurses/Code-of-Ethics-For-Nurses.html). Ethics is a great concern regarding genetic testing because the testing may affect an individual’s quality of life. In the 5th vignette, Interpreting Risk: The Impact of Life Experience, we see the viewpoints of two female roommates. Lisa’s mother suffered from breast cancer and died at a young age. As a result, Lisa was left with the feeling that death from breast cancer is inevitable for her. Lisa wants to receive genetic testing and if she tests positive will not have children even though she wants children

After reading the ANA code of ethics there are various aspects that can relate back to nursing informatics. However, the main sections I would like to discuss would be; provisions two, three, seven, eight and nine.

Code of Ethics in nursing it is important to make sure the staff and patients are being respected and treated with dignity. The study of ethics has lead to basic concept such as justice and fidelity, autonomy, beneficence and nonmaleficence. It is very important to understand these concepts, because they assist the nurse with making decisions during difficult situations (ANA, 2001, p 6).
