Answer #1

The ANA Code of Ethics currently emphasizes the word "patient" instead of the word "client" in referring to nursing care recipients and I strongly agree with this as we should not treat patients as customers. This money minded approach towards a serious profession such as healthcare will commercialize this profession. The access of healthcare to the poor and weaker sections of the society will be hindered by this materialistic approach. The quality of care will be dependent upon just money, rather than ethics.

DETAIled as possible Ethics is concerned with doing the right thing, although it is not always clear what that is. Ethics has to do with actions people should take, not necessarily actions that they are legally required to take. The primary purpose of law and legislation is to protect the patient and the nurse, thus define the scope of acceptable practices. Nurses who are aware of their rights and duties are better able to protect themselves against liability or loss...
