Ethical Standards

Nursing has a code of ethics and standards that define the principles by which nurses should function.
The ultimate responsibility for professional practice/ performance of nursing skills lies with YOU / each individual nurse.
Professionalism
An organization can provide guidelines, but it is the
individual nurse who must maintain the standards and take responsibility and be
accountable for own nursing practice.

Cognitive / Intellectual Skills
