Nina the New Nurse was floated to a unit she was unfamiliar with. Wanting to be helpful and thought of as a team player, she accepted a very heavy assignment. According to the ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses, which of the four principle elements did Nina the New Nurse violate?
  1. Nurses and people
  2. Nurses and practice
  3. Nurses and co-workers
  4. Nurses and the profession
Explanation
Answer: B - Nurses and practice is one of four principle elements of the ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses. Each element contains an outline of standards of ethical conduct. According to the principle element of nurse and practices, “A nurse is to use judgment regarding individual competence when accepting or delegating responsibility.” Nina the New Nurse should have been honest with her supervisor (and, perhaps, herself) and not accepted a heavy assignment on an unfamiliar unit.
