Activity Summary

This engaging presentation delves into the complex world of ethical issues that arise in acute care nursing practice. The facilitators guide participants using real-world scenarios involving conflicting values and moral challenges and discuss how to effectively manage such concerns. We explore how the Code of Ethics for Nurses guides nursing practice and use the Four Box method to frame decision-making and patient advocacy. We also discuss signs and symptoms of moral distress and share practical strategies to help the clinical nurse handle ethical concerns confidently and competently.

Objectives

  • Identify and define the 9 Provisions of the Nursing Code of Ethics.
  • Discuss the implications of ineffective management of moral distress secondary to ethical dilemmas in daily practice.
  • Apply the Four Box Method to analyze common ethical dilemmas in acute care nursing practice.
