Charles Darwin University: NUR113 A4 Poster - Ethical Nursing Practice

This assignment centers on the creation of an A4 poster that visually represents the importance of ethical practice in nursing, a core component of the NUR113 course at Charles Darwin University. The assignment requires the student to synthesize information on ethical responsibility, professional competence, and patient perspectives to convey the significance of ethical conduct in healthcare. The poster must incorporate at least five separate images to illustrate key concepts. Furthermore, a separate 200-250 word description, written in Arial 12 font with 1.5 spacing and APA 6th style CDU referencing, accompanies the poster. The description is designed to provide context and elaborate on the poster's message, including the importance of building trust, respect, and integrity in nurse-patient relationships. The student's name and number must be included on all documents. The final submission is due on September 12th, Thursday, 11:59 PM Darwin time (CST).

The Importance of Ethical Practice In Nursing
Name
Institution
Ethics is a fundamental component in nursing since it articulates for the
need to respect patients and protect their rights while maintaining a high
level of professional competency. Ethical responsibility and enhancing
quality care are also associated with ethical practice in nursing.
Professional Competence
 Fosters professional competence through safe and quality care.
Nurses increase quality care and are able to address ethical
challenges (Poorchangizi et al., 2017).
Ethical Responsibility
 Ethical responsibility in the form of promotion of health, preventing
illness and alleviating suffering can be showcased by nurses who
incorporate ethical principles (LSUA, 2017).
 Patients and their family can receive quality care in a clinical setting
confounded on ethical practice.
Patients’ Perspective
 Ethical practice in nursing enables nurses to build formidable
relationships with patients. Ethics entail honesty, integrity and
dignity. Building relationships that embody trust, respect, privacy
and dignity therefore requires nursing ethics (Holt Convey, 2012).
