Ethical and Legal Issues for Doctoral Nursing Students
Abstract
Clinical care is guided by knowledge, competency, and the maintenance of ethical standards. Maintenance of ethical standards is necessary by all care providers across disciplines. Attention should be paid to the following ethical tenets: autonomy, beneficence, non-malfeasance, justice, veracity, and confidentiality. Avoiding paternalism is a goal for providers to optimize outcomes for individuals and families. Providers who demonstrate a thorough understanding of ethical principles best serve individuals, communities, and populations by strengthening trust with adherence to ethical standards.
