A nursing student is listing key points about ethics and values. Which point listed by the nurse indicates a need for more education?
1
"A nurse's point of view offers a unique voice in the resolution of ethical dilemmas."
2
"Professional nursing promotes accountability, responsibility, advocacy, and confidentiality."
Correct3
"The American Nurses Association [ANA] code of ethics ensures that the
code remains constant."
4
"Standards ethics in healthcare consist of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, and fidelity."
The American Nurses Association [ANA] code of ethics reviews and revises the code regularly to reflect changes in practice. The basic principles of the ANA code [such as responsibility, accountability, advocacy, and confidentiality] remain constant. A nurse's point of view offers a unique voice in the resolution of ethical dilemmas by including knowledge
based upon clinical and psychosocial observations. Professional nursing promotes accountability, responsibility, advocacy, and confidentiality. Standards ethics in healthcare consist of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, and fidelity.
A hospitalized client is on contact precautions for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA]. Which statement by an unlicensed assistive personnel [UAP] [Canada: continuing care assistant, CCA] indicates a
need for further teaching?
1
"I will put on gloves and a gown before entering the room."
2
"I will wash my hands before entering and leaving the room."
Correct3
"I will remove the gown, then the gloves, before washing my hands."
4
"I will leave a thermometer, blood pressure cuff, and stethoscope in the room for use for this client only."
The most accurate method to removing personal protective equipment [PPE] is in this order: gloves, gown, face mask / googles, wash
hands. However, it is acceptable to remove gown and gloves together, rolling them inside out and disposing into proper receptacle. Contact precautions require the use of a gown and gloves. Hands should be washed before and after every client contact. Equipment should be dedicated for use only by the client in contact isolation.
