From the list of ANA Position Statements on ethics and human rights, pick one ethical issue that is of special concern to you. Read the ANA position statement on the issue.
In this Discussion Board:
Briefly describe the issue and the ANA’s position on the issue.
Describe (with some explanation) which of the ethical principles (justice, autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, veracity) is of concern in the position statement.
Discuss how the issue might affect the relationship between a nurse and a patient.
Use a nursing situation to describe the relationship you are discussing – the conflict within a nursing situation, and nursing’s ethical response.
Respond to each other’s discussion postings, and as you consider which ANA issue to discuss yourself, try to pick a topic that no one else in the group has picked. Be scholarly in your response – use the readings to support your posting.
