The principles of nursing such as Autonomy, Beneficence, Fidelity, Informed Consent, Integrity, Justice, Nonmaleficence, Paternalism, Veracity, as well as Privacy, and Confidentiality describe what constitutes safe and effective nursing care, and cover the aspects of behavior, attitude, and approach that underpin good care.

• Discuss a patient interaction in which the principles of Justice and Veracity were applied.
• What did you learn from this and how important are these principles in providing nursing care?
• From where does this originate?

Why is it essential to become a patient advocate for a critical care nurse? How can the principle of beneficence work with the principle of autonomy to enhance the dignity of patients?

Identify and describe the research problem, purpose, objectives, and hypothesis identified in the article.

Describe how you would evaluate the credibility of the research article: Tongvichean, T., Aungsuroch, Y., & Preechawong, S. (2019, Jan-Mar).

Discuss strategies to provide care to patients who are from different cultures and may have different cultural beliefs. For example, what might the APN do if the patient refuses a high-quality, evidence-based treatment meant to cure the illness because of cultural beliefs? How can the APN respect cultural beliefs while still providing quality care? In what ways can the nurse do more than simply “do no harm?”
