Issues Influencing Nursing Practice

Consent is an important element in nursing practice (Nursing and Midwifery Committee, 2010) in order to gain patient trust and respect, which is essential for providing quality care as a nurse. You must obtain consent from the service user so that the nurse can receive care and make physical contact. To support this, the Nurse and Midwifery Commission (NMC) has developed guidelines for nurses as part of the nursing practice code. The controversy over why consent is important in adult care and child rearing will be discussed as well as this issue and in the differences.

Introduction Obstetric medical is an exciting and vigorous medical field. Following this there are ethical issues, a high proportion of obstetric litigation, and the task of conducting safe and evidence-based care that fulfills the needs of women and families. Ethics defines what is good, right, and just. Every day, ethical problems occur in healthcare, and everyone can play a role in ensuring ethical health care. Medical professionals, especially midwives, perinatal and neonatal nurses, may encounter ethical issues by interacting with patients and members of the age group of childbearing.

Many nursing ethicists distinguish nursing ethics issues from the broader range of bioethical issues encountered by nurses. These nursing ethicists regard nursing ethics as an independent field because of their own ethical concerns in the relationship between nurses and patients, families, doctors and other experts. An important criterion for distinguishing between nursing ethics and bioethics is that the viewpoint of nursing is the main subject in the context of medical problems rather than medical point of view.

What can each individual nurse do to affect the image of care? It is easy to think that professional issues such as images of care are simply the focus of the profession. However, many nursing problems require individual nurses to take corresponding actions. Images of care are affected by various concerns like the contents of television, movies, advertisements and so on. However, most of the images of care comes from daily personal contacts between the public and nurses and doctors.

The problem of cultural diversity has a great influence on nursing professionals and professional nursing practice. Over the years occupational care was an effort to be regarded as a field aimed at providing the best care for the public. I decided to look into this occupation based on universality, which means that it includes people from all cultures. Therefore, by integrating cultural diversity, nurses will be recognized and respected throughout the world (Lowe & Archibald, 2009).
