|
The definitive framework for ethical analysis and decision-making
for RNs across all practice levels, roles and settings. Revisions
were made in this new edition in response to the complexities of
modern nursing, to simplify and more clearly articulate the
content, to anticipate advances in health care, and to incorporate
aids that would make it richer, more accessible, and easier to use.
Consisting of nine provisions and the accompanying interpretive
statements, it: Provides a succinct statement of the ethical
values, obligations, and duties of every individual who enters the
nursing profession. Serves as the profession's nonnegotiable
ethical standard. Expresses nursing's own understanding of its
commitment to society. The code is particularly useful to in
today's health care environment because it reiterates the
fundamental values and commitments of the nurse (Provisions 1-3),
identifies the boundaries of duty and loyalty (Provisions 4-6), and
describes the duties of the nurse that extend beyond individual
patient encounters (Provisions 7-9). This revision retains
interpretive statements for each provision that provide more
specific guidance for practice. The statements are responsive to
the contemporary context of nursing and recognize the larger scope
of nursing's concern in relation to health. It also includes
another innovation: links to foundational and supplemental
documents, which will be available later in 2015. ANA's Code of
Ethics for Nurses is the promise that nurses are doing their best
to provide care for their patients and their communities and are
supporting each other in the process so that all nurses can fulfill
their ethical and professional obligations. It is important tool
that can be used now as leverage to a better future for nurses,
patients and health care. This Code is a reflection of the proud
ethical heritage of nursing, a guide for all nurses now and into
the future.
