Nurses develop their moral reasoning skills
Ethical guidelines can provide nurses with guidance when making decisions about patient care. This is especially important in situations where a patient’s life may be at risk. Nursing homes often experience a high level of patient abuse. In order to improve the quality of healthcare in these facilities, it’s essential that nurses are familiar with the code of ethics for NHS FPX 5004 Assessment 3 Self Assessment of Leadership and policy issues related to care coordination. The patient’s priority is one of the most important considerations in care coordination. Nurses must balance the ethical principles of nonmaleficence and fidelity with the patient’s needs and values. They also need to be able to explain treatment options in an understandable way. Patients often have unique insights that are not captured by doctors and other health professionals. These insights and priorities should be considered in medical education, service provision, and research. This will help break down the wall between patients and health professionals. This study used the dialogue model to involve patients in the priority setting process of primary healthcare topics. While the results might not be generalisable, it is encouraging to see that patients’ views were largely in agreement with those of researchers NHS FPX 5004 Assessment 1 Leadership and Group Collaboration and policy-makers. In addition, the patient advisory members identified new priority topics, which complemented and added depth to the existing list of primary healthcare priorities. This is an important step forward in involving patients in priority setting.
