2NURSING CARE AND CODE OF CONDUCT
Rationale:
Roach's 6C’s of nursing is a guideline for the nurse practitioners to ensure excellent health care
to the patients. All the values of 6Cs are of equal importance. Patient-centered care is the main
theme of these vales. As the nurses are the primary care providers to the patients the 6Cs of
nursing is an ideal guideline for all the nurse practitioners.
Roach's 6C’S:
Care: Care should ensure positive patient related outcome which improves the health of a
community. Standard of care should be precise and consistent throughout the career of a nurse
(Bradshaw, 2016).
Compassion: Care giving through building relationship. Showing respect, empathy and holistic
support to the patient is key to patient-centered nursing care.
Competence: Thorough clinical and technical knowledge of a nurse which ensures precise
decision-making and efficient diagnosis. Evidenced based care is practiced by competent nurses
(Winland-Brown et al., 2013).
Communication: Communication among the nurses and other healthcare professionals ensure
collaborative care for the patient. It results in synchronized care provided by multidisciplinary
healthcare teams (Clickner & Shirey, 2013).
Courage: For a nurse it helps in decision-making, innovative interventions and stand up if it is
required for the benefit of the patient.
Commitment: A nurse should always be committed to the provision of proper care of a patient.
Health of the patient and mitigating adverse events should be the priority for a nurse.
