Document Summary

Week 5: intersection of ethics: influence on nursing in the global health context. Need to be safe, competent and ethic; needs to be reflection and critical thinking. Values and beliefs; what is right and what is wrong, what is respect and disrespect. Consider dignity and establish a trusting relationship; study and explore what is right and wrong so many situations that we are going to face in which patients have to be very tough/challenging decisions. Look at context of situations and what is going on; we want that therapeutic relationship: need to have a way to deal with ethical situations need the code of ethics (next slide) Individual values and beliefs can provide bias how will you feel if a 13 year old needs an abortion, need to be therapeutic and provide proper/holistic nursing care: this can complicate matters further. Theory and expertise comes in, and because of the law it went to the supreme court.
