After an ethics refresher course, which nurse needs further instruction about the Code of Ethics for Nurses? The one who states:
1. "The Code of Ethics does not specifically address ending a client's life because
it's legal in some states."
2. "I understand now where we nurses get our responsibility for the client's safety, integrity, and dignity."
3. "I believe the Code of Ethics specifically mentions delegation, professional development, and collaboration with others."
4. "The Code of Ethics is broken into two main sections with advancing responsibilities as the nurse's career advances."
Answer: 1
Rationale: The Code of Ethics for Nurses does specifically address the intentionality of taken another's life, regardless of the circumstances or state in which it may occur. The Code of Ethics addresses the profession's responsibility to protect the client's safety, integrity, and dignity, as well as delegation, development, and collaboration. It is also broken into two main sections that advance as the nurse's career advances. The first four codes are specific to nurses at the bedside, while the final five codes are broader, and apply to the community as a whole.
