From the Code of Ethics below explain why Provision 1.4 is important and your role as a nurse in upholding this provision.

 

1.4 The Right To Self-Determination: Demonstrating respect for human dignity requires nurses to recognize patient rights, especially the right of self-termination or autonomy. Self-determination is the basis upon which patients can engage in informed consent for healthcare services. Patients have a legal right to decide what treatments if any, will be performed on or for them. They have the right to accurate, understandable, and complete information that supports informed decision-making, allowing them to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of care. Nurses are obligated to be knowledgeable about the legal and moral rights of all patients to self-determination. Nurses must protect, preserve, and support their patient’s interests by verifying their comprehension of the education or information provided and the implications associated with their decisions. Nurses should support the patient’s right to accept, refuse, or stop treatment without undue influence, coercion, duress, or penalty. Support of self-determination includes recognizing cultural differences that may affect the patient’s decisions about care.
