Discussion: NRS 430 Professional Accountability
Nursing was named the profession with the highest level of trust for the sixteenth year in a row in 2016. In every engagement with patients, we must maintain this degree of faith in our area. This means accepting accountability for our practices, office environment, and patient safety. The American Nursing Association’s Code of Ethics defines professional accountability as “being answerable to oneself and others for one’s own behaviour.” In addition to establishing high standards for our own clinical practice and ethics, we must also be prepared to accept professional responsibility when and if care standards are not met.
Nurses commonly deal with time management challenges and continuously shifting job demands. We frequently have to strike a balance between increasing workloads, higher-acuity patient assignments, larger nurse-patient ratios, and organizational constraints. Workarounds must be avoided; instead, strategies and processes linked with successful therapy outcomes must be used. This necessitates the implementation of a proactive, team-based strategy to analyze our staff’s skill mix and match our skill levels with patient demands in order to ensure that every patient receives the most secure and high-quality care possible.
