Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Generative artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in graduate nursing outpaces program development.
  • Emerging concerns include professional identity, epistemic accountability, and academic integrity.
  • Need for structured AI integration in nursing curricula.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a scaffolded AI integration model for graduate nursing education.
  • To guide faculty in teaching ethical AI use.
  • To enhance student autonomy and accountability in AI tool utilization.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual article proposing a three-phase model: Guided Transparency, Co-constructed Inquiry, Independent Mastery.
  • Model supported by four practical frameworks: CLEAR, RACE, RISE, APE.
  • Grounded in scaffolding theory, dialogic pedagogy, classical rhetoric, and AACN Essentials.

Main Results:

  • The model offers a structured, phase-based approach for teaching ethical AI.
  • Increased learner autonomy is balanced with transparency and accountability.
  • Informal observations indicate improved attribution, critical appraisal, and reflective engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Scaffolded AI integration prepares advanced practice nurses for ethical AI use in practice.
  • Nurse educators act as epistemic mentors in AI tool governance.
  • The model supports the development of critical reasoning and ethical AI application skills.
