- The Nurse Practice Act is a set of rules established by the government to protect the public and define nursing practice.
- The Act includes a Code of Ethics that outlines standards for nurses, including integrity, safety, competence, and professional growth.
- The American Nurses Association (ANA) has its own Code of Ethics that emphasizes the importance of continuing education and evidence-based practice.
- Nurses are required to stay informed through continuing education and professional organization membership.
- The Act applies to all nurses regardless of their level of degree, licensure, or setting.
- The Act clarifies roles and responsibilities within the nursing profession and offers guidance for addressing ethical situations.
- There are seven ethical principles in nursing: beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, accountability, autonomy, fidelity, and veracity.
- Ethical dilemmas occur when individual values and laws conflict, and nurses must consider these issues when advocating for patients and families.
- Ethical decisions can have complex consequences and may involve professionals and nonprofessionals debating the issues.
- Legal terminology relevant to nursing includes liability, tort, negligence, misconduct, malpractice, felony, assault, battery, false imprisonment, slander, and libel.
- The Good Samaritan Law provides immunity from liability to voluntary caregivers at accident and emergency sites.
- The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects patient confidentiality and privacy.
Title: Advanced Directives and Cultural Considerations in Nursing Care
- Advanced directives are written documents that provide guidelines for making medical decisions when a person becomes incapacitated.
- Types of advanced directives include health care proxies, living wills, and do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders.
- Factors influencing health care decisions include religion and culture, and nurses need to be sensitive to these beliefs and practices.
- Cultural assessments involve understanding physical differences, learning about cultural beliefs, accepting each client as an individual, and planning care within the client's health belief system.
- Nursing care should be culturally sensitive, allowing for acceptance of all beliefs, nonjudgmental attitudes, and respect for prayer and other religious practices.
- Different religions have specific beliefs and practices that may impact nursing care, such as dietary restrictions, Sabbath observance, circumcision rituals, autopsies, and burial customs.
