It has been revised and reaffirmed at various times since, most recently with this review and revision completed in 2006. The fundamental responsibility of the nurse is fourfold: To promote health. To prevent illness. To restore health. To alleviate suffering. The code for nurses includes ethical concepts related to People, Practice, Society, Co-workers and the Profession itself.

1. NURSES AND PEOPLE

The nurse`s primary responsibility is to those people who require nursing care. In providing care, the nurse promotes an environment in which the human rights, values, customs and spiritual beliefs of the individual, family and community are respected. The nurse ensures that the individual receives sufficient information on which to base consent for care and related treatment. The nurse holds in confidence personal information and uses judgement in sharing this information. The nurse shares with society the

responsibility for initiating and supporting action to meet the health and social needs of the public, in particular those of vulnerable populations.

2. NURSES AND PRACTICE

The nurse carries personal responsibility and accountability for nursing practice, and for maintaining competence by continual learning. The nurse maintains a standard of personal health such that the ability to provide care is not compromised. The nurse uses judgement regarding individual competence when accepting and delegating responsibility. The nurse at all times maintains standards of personal conduct which reflect well on the profession and enhance public confidence. The nurse, in providing care, ensures that use of technology and scientific advances are compatible with the safety, dignity and rights of people.

3. NURSES AND SOCIETY

The nurse shares with other citizens the responsibility for initiating and supporting action to meet the health and social needs of the public.

4. NURSES AND CO-WORKERS

The nurse sustains a co-operative relationship

with co-workers in nursing and other fields. The nurse takes appropriate action to safeguard individuals when their care is endangered by a coworker or any other person.

5. NURSES AND THE PROFESSION

The nurse assumes the major role in determining and implementing acceptable standards of clinical nursing practice, management, research and education. The nurse is active in developing a core of research based professional knowledge. The nurse, acting through the professional organisation, participates in creating and maintaining equitable social and economic working conditions in nursing. SUMMARY: In short, ethics for nursing will state the ideal way of a nurse behaving in all professional relationships. It will have meaning only as a living document if applied to the realities of nursing and health care in a changing society. To achieve its purpose the Code must be understood, internalized and used by nurses in all aspects of their work. It must be available to students and nurses throughout their study and work lives.
