What are the Fundamental Ethical Principles in Nursing?
Nursing ethics revolve around several core principles:
1. Autonomy: Respecting the patient's right to make their own decisions. 2. Beneficence: Acting in the best interest of the patient. 3. Non-maleficence: Avoiding harm to the patient. 4. Justice: Ensuring fair and equitable treatment for all patients. 5. Confidentiality: Protecting patient privacy and sensitive information.
