Study Notes

Nurse Practice Act and Ethics in Nursing

  • The Nurse Practice Act is a set of rules established by the government to protect the public and define nursing practice.
  • Each state has its own Nurse Practice Act, which includes definitions of nursing and LPN roles, as well as standards for professional conduct.
  • The Nurse Practice Act defines the scope of practice for nurses, outlining what actions they can and cannot perform under their professional license.
  • In New York, LPNs are not allowed to practice nursing independently, perform assessments or triage, develop care plans, provide mental health counseling, or provide clinical services that require nursing or medical assessments.
  • The Nurse Practice Act is accompanied by a Code of Ethics, which provides guidelines for professional behavior and emphasizes the importance of continuing education and evidence-based practice.
  • The Code of Ethics includes principles such as beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, accountability, autonomy, fidelity, and veracity.
  • Ethical dilemmas can arise when individual values and laws conflict, and nurses must consider these issues when advocating for patients and families.
  • Nurses are held to the same confidentiality rules and regulations as licensed healthcare providers, even as students.
  • The role of a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) includes providing bedside care, wound care, administering medications, monitoring client status, and collaborating, delegating, educating, and advocating for patients.
  • Legal terminology relevant to nursing includes liability, torts (such as negligence and malpractice), felonies, assault, battery, false imprisonment, slander, and libel.
  • The Good Samaritan Law provides immunity from liability for voluntary caregivers at accident and emergency sites.
  • The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects the confidentiality of health information and requires healthcare agencies to safeguard written, spoken, and electronic health information.
