Week 1 Discussion As you prepare to transition from an academic student to a newly graduated nurse in clinical practice, consider the following: ● What two provisions in the ANA's Code of Ethics for Nurses may help you in this transition? ● Expand on your chosen provisions and describe how adopting them into your clinical practice will help you to be successful. In order to receive full credit, you will need to clearly respond to both parts of the question using subtitles or bullets AND cite at least one scholarly reference in your response. You are required to participate on at least three (3) days of the week to receive full participation points. ● As I prepare to transition from an academic student to a newly graduated nurse in clinical practice the two provisions in the ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses that may help me in my transition are provision 4 and 5. Provision 4 states, “The nurse has authority, accountability and responsibility for nursing practice; makes decisions; and takes action consistent with the obligation to promote health and to provide optimal care” (ANA, 2015, pg. V). Provision 5 states, “The nurse owes the same duties to self as to others, including the responsibility to promote health and safety, preserve wholeness of character and integrity, maintain competence, and continue personal and professional growth” (ANA, 2015, pg. V). ● Provision 4 is important because as a nurse you have the responsibility to provide the best possible care for your patients. Also while providing that care you are always accountable for the overall outcome of the patient. This is done by implementing the ethical principles such as beneficence, nonmaleficence, accountability, fidelity, autonomy, and veracity. These ethical principles will allow me to do right by my patients. Provision 5 is important because if you don’t take care of yourself first you are in no condition to take care of others. As a new nurse it is possible to become overwhelmed with stress due to the long shifts and new environment so taking time to adjust and reduce stress is important for everyone.
