HEALTH CARE ETHICS CASE STUDYHealthcare practitioners re meant to live by a certain specific moral code during their working hours. However, the overall objective and goal for these ethics is to encourage patient safety and quality healthcare provision from the practitioners (Steinbock et al, 2013). In other words, the ethical code of ethics are used as a guidance for the doctors, nurses and other members of the healthcare sector who practice and provide health care services, in making sound and valuable decision regarding the patients’ healthcare condition (Cherry et al, 2016). There are a number of health care ethics that have always been implemented in the healthcare sector in Australia. The country ought to protect its citizens and ensure practitioners’ capability to provide the best services to the patients. In this assignment, I will focus on discussing the ethics that are directly related to the case study in question. Some of the ethics include:Quality Care ProvisionGenerally, the main role and responsibility for every nurse is to provide quality and upgraded health care services to their patients. This responsibility involves implementing or conducting other different activities or rather responsibilities like, administering drugs, making regular observations and checkups, cleaning the patients’ beddings and changing them, taking body measurements and being involved in conversations with the patients with the aim of offering support and company among other duties (Timmins et al, 2017). The registered nurses are often in charge of other nurses whereby they should ensure that all these duties are carried out effectively and efficiently (Hay et al, 2017). Quality care provision can be providing when nursesare well trained and are completely aware of their roles and responsibilities. This means that theyknow what to do, when to do it and where to do it. Every nurse should rather ensure that their duties are performed on time and with utmost perfection to encourage patient recovery and health condition improvement. To add to that, it is important for the nurses to provide quality services to the patients simply because the service is directly related or connected to saving human life (Holloway et al, 2016). The nurses are basically the ones to determine whether the patients’ health condition improves or worsens. The nurses are in charge of taking care of the patients before they are admitted into the hospital and after they are admitted till they recover completely.2
