1 RDN-002 RESOURCE 2 CODE OF ETHICS PREAMBLE Nurses support and enable individuals, families and groups to maintain, restore or improve their health status, or to be cared for and comforted when deterioration of health has become irreversible. A traditional ideal of nursing is the concern for the care and nurture of human beings regardless of race, religion, status, age, gender, diagnosis or any other ground. Nursing care is based on the development of a helping relationship and the implementation and evaluation of therapeutic processes. Therapeutic processes include health promotion and education, counselling, nursing interventions and empowerment of individuals, families or groups to exercise maximum choice in relation to their health care. Nurses provide care and support before and during birth and throughout life, and alleviate pain and suffering during the dying process. The Code of Ethics has been developed for nursing in the Australian context and is relevant to all nurses working in Australia. The Code of Ethics outlines nursing's intentions in practice and is supported by policies and position statements from organisations representing nurses and nursing. The Code of Ethics is complementary to the International Council of Nurses (ICN) Code for Nurses (1973). Thus, the purpose of this Code of Ethics is to: identify the fundamental moral commitments of the profession; provide nurses with a basis for professional and self reflection and a guide to ethical practice; and indicate to the community the values which nurses hold. John Bailey 2008 Page Sequence: Page 1 of 6
2 VALUE STATEMENT 1 Nurses respect persons' individual needs, values and culture in the provision of nursing care. 1. Nursing care for any individual or group should not be compromised because of ethnicity, gender, spiritual values, disability, age, economic, social or health status, or any other ground. 2. Respect for a person's needs includes recognition of the individual's place in a family and community. Nurses should, therefore, facilitate the participation of significant others in the care of the individual if, and as, the person and the significant others wish. 3. Respect for individual needs, beliefs and values includes culturally sensitive care, and the provision of as much comfort, dignity, privacy and alleviation of pain and anxiety as possible. 4. Respect includes the development of confidence and trust in the relationship between nurses and the people for whom they care. John Bailey 2008 Page Sequence: Page 2 of 6
3 VALUE STATEMENT 2 Nurses respect the rights of persons to make informed choices in relation to their care 1. Individuals are entitled to make decisions related to their own welfare, based on accurate information given by health care providers. If persons are not present or able to speak for themselves, nurses have a role in ensuring that someone is present to accurately represent the person's perspective. 2. Nurses have a responsibility to inform people about the nursing care that is available to them, and people have free choice to accept or reject such care. Nurses respect the decisions made by each person. 3. Illness and/or other factors may compromise a person's capacity for selfdetermination. Where able, nurses need to provide such persons with the opportunities for choice to enable them to maintain some degree of selfdirection and self determination. John Bailey 2008 Page Sequence: Page 3 of 6
4 VALUE STATEMENT 3 Nurses promote and uphold the provision of quality nursing care for all people. 1. Quality nursing care includes competent care provided by appropriately qualified individuals. 2. Promotion of quality nursing care includes valuing continuing education as a means of maintaining and increasing knowledge and skills. Continuing education refers to all formal and informal opportunities for education. 3. Standards of care are one measure of quality. Nurses implement procedures to evaluate nursing practice in order to raise standards of care, and to ensure that such standards are ethically defensible. 4. Research is necessary to the development of the profession of nursing. Research should be conducted in a manner that is ethically defensible. John Bailey 2008 Page Sequence: Page 4 of 6
5 VALUE STATEMENT 4 Nurses hold in confidence any information obtained in a professional capacity, and use professional judgement in sharing such information. 1. The nurse respects persons' rights to determine who will be provided with their personal information and in what detail. Exceptions may be necessary in circumstances where the life of the person or of other persons may be placed in danger if information is not disclosed. 2. When personal information is required for teaching, research or quality assurance procedures, care must be taken to protect the person's anonymity and privacy. Consent must always be obtained. 3. Nurses protect persons in their care against inadvertent breaches of privacy by confining their verbal communications to appropriate personnel and settings, and to professional purposes. 4. Nurses have a moral obligation to adhere to practices which limit access to personal records (whether written or computerised) to appropriate personnel. VALUE STATEMENT 5 Nurses respect the accountability and responsibility inherent in their roles. 1. As morally independent agents, nurses have moral obligations in the provision of nursing care. 2. Nurses participate with other health care providers in the provision of comprehensive health care, recognising the perspective and expertise of each team member. 3. Nurses may have personal values which may cause them to experience moral distress in relation to participating in certain procedures. Nurses have a moral right to refuse to participate in procedures which would violate their reasoned moral conscience (that is, they are entitled to conscientious objection). John Bailey 2008 Page Sequence: Page 5 of 6
6 . VALUE STATEMENT 6 Nurses value the promotion of an ecological, social and economic environment which supports and sustains health and well being 1 Nursing includes involvement in the detection of ill effects of the environment on the health of persons, the ill effects of human activities on the natural environment, and assisting communities in their actions on environmental health problems aimed at minimising these effects. 2 Nurses value participation in the development, implementation and monitoring of policies and procedures which promote safe and efficient use of resources. 3 Nurses acknowledge that the social environment in which persons reside has an impact on their health, and in collaboration with other health professionals and consumers, initiate and support action to meet the health and social needs of the public * Australian Nursing Council, 1997 ANCI Code of Ethics for Nurses in Australia, 2 nd Edition, Australian Nursing Council Inc.
