proposed to judge the professional status of a discipline, the study of ethics
must include a discussion of nursing’s professional status.
2.Nursing codes of ethics were partially an outcome of nursing’s struggle to
meet this criterion. First established in the mid-twentieth century, nursing
codes of ethics continue to evolve with sensitivity to the moral standards of
society.
Current codes of nursing ethics in Western countries are similar.
4.They instruct the nurse to behave in ways that honor traditional ethical
principles such as respect of persons, beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice,
and fidelity.
