Values Transmission Values are learned through observation and
experience. As a result, they are heavily influenced by a person's sociocultural environment that is, by societal traditions; by cultural, and religious groups; and by family and peer groups.
For example, if a parent consistently
demonstrates honesty in dealing with others, the child will probably begin to value honesty.

Autonomy Autonomy Greek word AUTOS meaning self and nomos meaning governance - Self determination Freedom to choose and implement one’s

Beneficence This principle means “doing good” for
others.
"Do good and avoid harm.
Nonmaleficence
Non means “not” and mal means “bad”. Non-maleficence means “not to do or inflict harm”.
To do no harm o Not assisting in or performing

Justice
Referred to as fairness Every individual must be treated equally This requires nurses to be nonjudgmental
Fidelity
means to be faithful to agreements and promises
Loyalty The promise to fulfill all commitments
Confidentiality Anything stated to nurses or health-care
providers by clients must remain confidential
The only times this principle may be violated are: If clients may indicate harm to themselves or
others If the client gives permission for the information
to be shared
Veracity
Refers to telling the truth. This principle implies “truthfulness” Nurses need to be truthful to their clients Veracity is an important component of
building trusting relationships
Accountability
Individuals need to be responsible for their own actions
Nurses are accountable to themselves and to their colleagues
