What concepts create the framework for the American Nurses Association's Code of Ethics for Nurses?
1. Patient care and a commitment to learning
2. Patient rights and a commitment to compassion
3. Patient advocacy and a commitment to society
4. Patient education and a commitment to professionalism
Answer: 3
Explanation: Patient advocacy and a commitment to society are the framework for the American Nurses Association's Code of Ethics for Nurses. Nurses have an obligation to provide clinically competent, patient-centered care in accordance with ethical and legal principles. It is this patient-centered advocacy that creates a commitment to society. Patient education, rights, and compassion are all vital aspects of the nursing profession; however, these do not create the framework for the American Nurses Association's Code of Ethics for Nurses.
