Ethics in nursing is the foundation of professional practice, guiding nurses in making moral and ethical decisions while providing patient care. It encompasses principles such as respect, dignity, confidentiality, and advocacy, ensuring that patients receive safe and compassionate treatment. Nurses must continuously educate themselves on ethical principles and apply them to their daily practice to provide compassionate, fair, and ethical care.
