This week, you review ethical codes and standards for nursing practitioners and scholars, and you explore ethical challenges you may encounter in your chosen profession.

In this week’s media presentation, the experts discuss ethical challenges encountered by nurses as they assume leadership positions and as they engage in research. To prepare: Reflect on ethical challenges that you have encountered in your nursing practice. Think about the information the experts shared in this week’s media presentation, focusing on the ethical challenges they have encountered as nurse leaders or scientists, as well as information presented in other Learning Resources. With this information in mind, consider what new ethical challenges you may face once you obtain your doctoral degree. Post a cohesive response that addresses the following: Describe two or more significant ethical issues relevant to the DNP- or PhD-prepared nurse. Explain how these issues might compare to the types of issues you have already encountered in your practice. Purchase this Tutorial. https://aptitudenursingpapers.com/
