This program focuses on the first provision in the nursing code of ethics pertaining to respect, illustrating practical ways that nurses can show consideration for human dignity and the importance of relationships to patients.
The program discusses a patient's right to self-determination, the important factors of diversity, and end-of-life issues. Also covered are the nurse's role in supporting patient autonomy, informed consent, and the practice of extending respect beyond patients to one's colleagues as well.
