healthcare system and influencing decisions which affect nurses and the people they
serve(Abdullah et al, 2018). RNAO provides standards and practice guidelines for nurses to
provide safe, non-judgemental, compassionate and ethical care, preserving their dignity,
maintaining their privacy and confidentiality(Antunes et al, 2018).

settings. Internal stakeholders include staff nurses,nursing specialist and physicians, patients
