Nursing ethics

Nursing ethics is like having rules for how a nurse should behave and make decisions. Just like when you play a game, there are rules you have to follow. Nurses have rules too!

Let's say you go to see the doctor because you are sick. The nurse who takes care of you has to be really nice to you, make you feel comfortable, and listen to what you say. That's one of the rules. They have to be kind and helpful to you.

Another rule has to do with keeping your information private. When you tell the nurse about your medical problems, they can't tell anyone else unless you say it's okay. That's called "confidentiality."

The most important rule in nursing ethics is to do no harm. This means nurses have to do everything they can to help you and not hurt you. That's why they have to be really careful when they give you medicine or do procedures.

Nurses also have to follow the law and make sure they don't break any rules. They can get in trouble if they don't follow the rules!

Overall, nursing ethics is about being kind, keeping things private, doing no harm, and following the rules. It's really important for nurses to follow these rules to help people feel better and stay healthy.
