Codes of ethics and scientific integrity: what relevance to outcomes activities?
1College of Nursing, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, USA.
Abstract:
Advanced practice nurses are involved in many activities that focus around "outcomes." As nurses participate in the public presentation of outcomes data and information, expectations for ethical and responsible behavior are heightened. This article examines dilemmas that exist for advanced practice nurses involved in outcomes activities within the context of the American Nurses Association code for nurses, the bioethics literature, and published guides to scientific integrity. Recommendations are made to address these dilemmas.
