Nursing Code of Ethics

Nursing Code of Ethics

The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse I

Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse I

Accountability in nursing is a fundamental principle that underscores the obligation of nurses to take responsibility for their actions and answer for any errors or omissions in patient care. This principle is grounded in the professional, legal, and ethical frameworks that shape nursing practice. For instance, nurses must adhere to all relevant laws, regulations, and practice standards, including guidelines set forth by nursing boards and professional bodies, to ensure their actions comply...

Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

Nursing
Evidence-Based Practice
Healthcare Quality

Background:

Assessing the evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge of registered nurses (RNs) in Magnet®-designated hospitals.
First-time objective evaluation of EBP knowledge in this specific nursing population.

Purpose of the Study:

To objectively assess the evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge of registered nurses (RNs).
To compare objective EBP knowledge with self-reported EBP knowledge, skills, attitudes, and practice.

Main Methods:

Multisite, cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study design.
Utilized the Evidence-Based Practice Knowledge Assessment in Nursing (EKAN) for objective measurement.
Employed the Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ) for self-reported measures.

Main Results:

Positive self-ratings on EBP knowledge, skills, attitudes, and practice via EBPQ.
No significant correlation found between objective EKAN scores and self-reported EBPQ scores.
Higher nursing education levels correlated with higher objective EKAN scores.

Conclusions:

Objective EBP knowledge did not correlate with nurses' self-reported EBP knowledge, skills, attitudes, or practice.
Recommends objective measurement for evaluating interventions to advance EBP.
Highlights the importance of higher nursing education for objective EBP knowledge.
