A group of nursing students are reviewing the ANA's current code of ethics. A code of ethics is important in the nursing profession because
A) Nurses are highly vulnerable to criminal and civil prosecution in the course of their work
B) Nurses interact with clients and families from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds
C) Nursing practice involves numerous interactions between laws and individual values
D) Nurses are responsible for carrying out actions that have been ordered by other individuals
C
Feedback:
A code of ethics is necessary to guide nurses' conduct, especially with regard to the interaction between laws and individual values. Diversity and legal liability do not provide the main justification for a code of ethics, though each is often a relevant consideration. The fact that nurses often carry out the orders of others is not the justification for a code of ethics.
