Find the ANA Code of Ethics book in the Medical Library; click and get
the web link towww.nursingworld.org. Select from Provision 1, 2, or 3.
Bring content from the Provision you selected – discuss and report on
the Provision you selected here. Reference the Provision you will
discuss here; cite in proper APA format.
ANSWER:
As per the Code (ANA 2015) all registered nurses have a set of
obligations and ethics that they have to follow. There are 9 prime
responsibilities of the nurses with statements explaining the how these
provisions are guided hereafter.
These provisions came by in a scenario of Mrs. Williams who was
severely ill but her condition had not been spoken of to their family
members as well. Two nurses taking care of this patient Keisha and Kyle
broke the patient confidentiality clause and spoke about the condition
of Mrs. William in an elevator openly while her daughter who was
unaware of the condition heard about her mother and broke down.
“PROVISION 1: The nurse practices with compassion and respect for the
inherent dignity, worth, and unique attributes of every person”
(Lachman, 2014 ).

“Respect for human dignity.”In this case we have two nurses who
despite being compassionate and maintaining a good relationship with
the patient they disrespected her privacy and did not pay heed to the
need for confidentiality.
“Relationships with patients” The nurses were friendly in nature but
not individuals to help build relationshipas they spoke indiscriminately
about the patient in the elevator while the patients daughter heard
upon them. This led to the relative getting anxious about the patient.
“Nature of health.”In retrospect the nurses prior to being off from duty
should have ensured that the reports were delivered to the patients
relatives. At the same time they should have made sure that the Doctor
in charge and the surgeon had delivered the news of impending surgery
and the worsening condition of Mrs. Williams to the family.
“The right to self-determination.”It was crucial after the results were
out to ensure that the discussion regarding the surgery and thereafter
about what best next step was possible for the patient and all pros and
cons should have been well discussed.
