The nurse function as a resource person by providing skilled intervention, & information.Ethico-Moral-Legal Responsibilities in NursingSafe & compassionate nursing practice includes an understanding of the ethico-moral & legal boundaries within which nurses must function.To be able to determine what is good or valuable for all people & to judge what is right & wrong.The nurse must understand the law to protect themselves from liability & to protect their clients right.Ethics a branch of philosophy that examines differences between right & wrong. (study of morality).Refers to expected standards of behaviour of a particular group.(professional ethics).It came from the Greek word ethos which means moral duty.Morals- are specific ways of behaviour or of accomplishing ethical practices.Morality derived from the Greek word moralis which refers to social consensus about moral conduct for human beings & society.Ethical problems are created as a result of;Changes in the societyAdvances in technologyConflicts within the nurses role itselfNurses conflicting loyalties & obligation.As technology, has expanded the role of the nurse, the ethical dilemmas associated with the client care have increased & often become legal issues as well.Nurses familiarity with ethico-moral-legal implications of nursing enhances their ability to be client advocate.

Nurses Ethical Decision are influenced by:Role perception & responsibilities. Nurses are responsible for determining their own action & for supporting clients who are making ethical decision.What is a good decision?Moral theories.Teleology- looks to the consequences of an action in judging whether the action is right or wrong.Deontology or duty oriented theory.Ethical theory that considers the intrinsic significance of the act itself as criterion for determination of right or wrong.The morality of a decision is not determine by its consequences.Moral Principles. can be used as guidelines in analyzing dilemmas, they can also serve as justification for the resolution of ethical problems.Nursing Code of Ethics. A formal statement of a groups ideals & values.Provide direction for nurses to act morally.Cognitive Moral Development- ethics problems requires nurses to think & reason in making decisions, judgment & choices.Values, Beliefs, & Attitudes. Nurses should be aware of their values. Moral PrinciplesWhen a nurse is confronted with situations where moral judgment is necessary, the nurse may be guided by the following principles or rules:

The Golden Rule - Do unto others what you would like others do unto you. Since nurses like others to treat them kindly and with respect, they should be willing to do same to others too.

A good decision is the one that is in the clients best interest & at the same time preserves the integrity of all involved.32Jacqueline M. Calaycay, RN, MSN 052120152. The Two-fold Effect when a nurse is faced with situation which may have both good and bad effects, The basis of action may be the following:That the action must be morally goodThat the good effect must be willed and the bad effect merely allowedThat the good effect must not come from an evil action but from the initial action itself directlyThat the good effect must be greater than the bad effect.Examples:It is not morally good if a boy steals in order to alleviate his hunger because the action itself is already bad. If the patient who has a cancer of the uterus submits to hysterectomy she will not be able to bear a child. If she does not have the operation, she will die. It is the gynecologists intention to help the mother and not to harm her. The surgeons action is morally good since saving the mothers life is of primary importance. Also the doctor himself did not will that the patient lose her child-bearing function. Examples:It is not morally good if a boy steals in order to alleviate his hunger because the action itself is already bad. If the patient who has a cancer of the uterus submits to hysterectomy she will not be able to bear a child. If she does not have the operation, she will die. It is the gynecologists intention to help the mother and not to harm her. The surgeons action is morally good since saving the mothers life is of primary importance. Also the doctor himself did not will that the patient lose her child-bearing function. One who acts through an agent is himself responsible Example: A patient wants to have an abortion and asks a nurse if she can do it. The nurse refuses, but recommends a doctor who is capable of performing. The nurse is liable to such crime, since he / she is an accomplice of the said doctor.5. No one is obliged to betray himself / herself. In testifying before the court, no one can force any person to answer a question if such will incriminate him / her.6. The end does not justify the means. Example: Giving sleeping tablet to a chronically ill person so she / he can die in peace is morally wrong.

7. Defects of nature may be corrected.- Example: Patient with a Harelip or cleft palate may have their defects corrected by plastic surgery.8. If one is willing to cooperate in the act, no injustice is done to him / her. - Example: A patient subjects himself / herself willingly to an experimental drug and she / he has been told of the possible effects of the same, is of right age, and is sane, there is no violation of human rights.9. A little more or less does not change the substance of an act. Example: If a nurse gets medicine from the hospital stock without permission or without prescription, he / she will be guilty of theft even if he / she got only one tablet of the same.10. The greatest good for the greatest number. Example: During an epidemic, immunization against communicable diseases is administered to the people. If there may be some who may have slight reactions to the vaccine, the greater majority of the population shall be considered rather than the isolated few.

11. No one is held to the impossible. Example: To promise that a patient with heart transplant will live may be impossible. Yet, such procedures are done in the hope of saving or prolonging a patients life. The doctor or the nurse cannot be held to the impossible if they have done their best to take care of the patient and the latter dies.12. The morality of cooperation. Formal cooperation in an evil act is never allowed. Immoral operations such as abortion shall not be participated upon by a nurse even if the doctor commands it.

13. Principle relating to the origin and destruction of life. One of GODs commandments is Thou shall not kill.

Nursing as a ScienceDefinition of termsConcept- the building blocks of theory.Abstract ideas or mental images of phenomena or reality.(abstract or concrete ideas)Concepts helps us to name things & occurrences in the world around us & assist us in communicating with each other about the world.Conceptual framework- is a group of related concepts. It provides overall view or orientation to focus our thoughts.Can be visualized as an umbrella under which many theories can exist.Is a structure that links global concepts together & represents a unified whole of a larger reality.The concepts in a conceptual framework are linked together to form proposition.

Proposition- is a statement that expresses the relationship between concepts & is capable of being tested, believed or denied.E.g., People & their Environment are open System.Theory- is a set of concepts & propositions that provide an orderly way to view phenomena. a supposition or system of ideas that is proposed to explain a given phenomenon.Purpose of a Theory: is to guide research to enhance the science by supporting existing knowledge or generating new knowledge.Nursing Theory (purposes)To provide direction & guidelines for structuring, a) professional nursing practice b) education c) research.Differentiating the focus of nursing from other professions. In PracticeAssist nurses to describe, explain & predict everyday experiences.Serve to guide assessment, intervention, evaluation of nursing care.Provide a rationale for collecting reliable & valid data about the health status of clients, which are essential for effective decision making & implementation.Help to establish criteria to measure the quality of nursing care.Help build a common nursing terminology to use in communicating with other health professionals.

Notes on Nursing: What it is, what it is not.She focused on changing, & manipulating the environment in order to put patient in the best possible conditions for nature to act.She believed that nurturing the environment, the body could repair itself.

She linked health with 5 environmental factors; 1) Pure fresh air 2) pure water 3) efficient drainage 4) cleanliness 5) light especially direct sunlight. Deficiency in these five factors produce lack of illness or illness.Her general concept about ventilation, cleanliness, quiet, warmth, & diet remain integral parts of nursing & health care today.

Virginia Henderson: Definition of Nursing (1955) She postulated that the unique function of the nurse is to assist the client sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery, that client will perform unaided if they have the necessary strength, will or knowledge,She further believed that nursing involves assisting the client, in gaining independence as rapidly as possible, or assisting him achieve peaceful death if recovery is no longer possible.Martha Rogers: Science of Unitary Human Beings. ( 1970)Rogers views the person as an irreducible whole, the whole being greater than the parts. The distinctive properties of the whole are significantly different from its partUnitary man is an energy field in constant interaction with the environment

She believed that human being is characterized by the capacity for abstraction & imagery language & thought, sensation & emotion.E.g., Therapeutic touch- process by which energy is transmitted or transferred from one person to another with the intent of potentiating the feeling of healing process of who is ill or injured.85Jacqueline M. Calaycay, RN, MSN 05212015Dorothea Orem: Self care and Self care Deficit Theory (1971)She defined self care as the practice of activities that individuals initiate & perform on their own behalf in maintaining life, health & well being.According to this theory self care is a learned behaviour & a deliberate action in response to a needShe identified 3 kinds of self care requisites:Universal requisites- common to all people, include the maintenance of air, water, food, elimination, activity & rest, solitude & social interaction,& the promotion of human functioning both physiological & social interaction needs.Developmental requisites -are the needs that arise as the individual grows & develop.Health deviation requisites- results from

the needs produced by disease or illness states. It impairs the individual to perform self care.Theory of Self Care deficit.This theory purports (claims) that nursing care is needed when people are affected by the limitation that do not allow them to met their self care needs.The relationship between the nurse & client is established when a self care deficit is present.It also determines the need for nursing care.Nursing System TheoryAttempts to answer the question What do nurses do?Three types of Nursing SystemsWholly compensatory system: when the nurse is expected to accomplish all the patients self care or to compensate for the clients inability to care for self or when the client needs continuous guidance in self care.Partially compensatory: are designed for individuals who are unable to perform some ( but not all) self care activities.Both nurse & client engage in meeting self care needs.Supportive Educative (developmental): the that requires assistance in decision making behaviour control & acquisition of knowledge & skills.

System TheoriesSister Callista Roy: Adaptation Model (1979,1984)Widely used by nurse educator, researchers, & practitioners.She viewed each person as a unified biopsychosocial adaptive system in constant interaction with the changing environment.She viewed that the nurse must first assess how the client behaves in each adaptive mode & then determine what can be altered in that mode to produce more efficient & effective responses.Four adaptive Modes:Physiologic mode- involves the bodys basic physiologic needs & ways of adapting in regard to fluid & electrolytes, activity & rest, circulation & oxygen etc. e.g., caring for a patient with fever.Self Concept Mode- includes two components; the physical self,( sensation & body image) & the personal self ( whish involves of self ideal, self consistency & moral ethical self. E.g., patient who will undergo surgery & caring for an obese client.The role function mode- is determine by the need for social integrity & refers to the performance of duties based on given positions within society. The interdependence mode- involves ones relation with significant others & support system that provide help, affection & attention. E.g., a grieving widow.Imogene King: theory of goal Attainment (1971)Derived from a conceptual framework of 3 dynamic interacting systems:Personal system- perception, self, body image,, growth & development, space & time.

Interpersonal system- interaction, communication, transaction, roles & stress.Social system- organization, authority power, status, & decision making.To identify problems & establish goals the nurse & client perceive one another, act & react, interact & transact.

Betty Neuman: Health care system Model. (1972) Based on the individuals relationship to stress, the reaction to it & reconstitution (state of adaptation to stressors) .She viewed the client as an open system consisting of a basic structure or central core of energy resources ( physiologic, psychologic, socio-cultural, developmental & spiritual) surrounded by two cocentric boundaries or rings referred as lines of resistance.The two lines of resistance represent internal factors that help the client depend against on stressors.The inner or normal lines of defense represents the persons state of equilibrium, or the state of adaptation developed & maintained overtime & considered normal for that person.The flexible lines of defense is dynamic & can be rapidly altered over a short period of time. It is a protective buffer that prevents stressors from penetrating the normal lines of defence.The concern of nursing is to prevent stress invasion, to protect the clients basic structure & to obtain or maintain a maximum level of wellness.Nursing actions are carried out on the three preventive levels:Primary prevention- identify risk factors, attempt to eliminate the stressors & focuses on protecting the first line of defense strengthening the first line of

defense.Secondary prevention- relate to intervention or active treatment initiated after symptoms have occurred.The focus is to strengthen the internal lines of resistance, reduce the reaction & increase resistance factors.Tertiary prevention- refers to interventions following that in the secondary level.It focuses on readaptation & stability & protects reconstitution or return to wellness following treatment.The nurse emphasizes educating the client in strengthening resistance to stressors & ways to help prevent recurrence of reaction or regression.Dorothy Johnson: Behavioural System Model (1960)She used her observation of behaviour over many years to formulate this theory.Described the individual as a behavioural system composed of seven sub-systems:Attachment- Affiliative subsystem security seeking behaviour, provides survival & security.Its consequences are social inclusion, intimacy, & the formation & maintenance of a strong social bond.Dependency subsystem- promotes helping behaviour that calls for a nurturing response.

Its consequences are approval, attention or recognition & physical assistance.The Ingestive subsystem- satisfies appetite. It governed by social & psychologic consideration as well as biologic.The Eliminative subsystem- ridding the body waste in socially & culturally acceptable ways.The Sexual subsystem- dually for procreation & gratificationThe Achievement subsystem-attempts to manipulate the environment.It controls or masters an aspect of the self or environment to some standard of excellence.The Aggressive subsystem- protects & preserves the self & society & within the limits imposed by society.

Each of the above subsystem has the same functional requirements; protection, nurturance, & stimulation.The subsystem responses are developed through motivation, experience & learning & are influenced by biopsychosocial factors.Interpersonal/Caring TheoriesHildegard Peplau: Interpersonal Model / Psychodynamic Nursing Theory (1952 )Psychodynamic Nursing- is defined as understanding ones own behaviour to help others identify felt difficulties & applying principles of human relations to problem arising during the experience.She defined nursing as an interpersonal process of therapeutic interaction between an individual who is sick & in need of health services & a nurse especially educated to recognize & respond to the need for help.She identified four phases of nurse-patient relationship namely:Orientation: The nurse & client initially do not know each other. The patient seeks help, & the nurse assists the patient to understand the problem & the extent of need for help. Identification: during this phase, the patient assumes a posture of dependence, interdependence in relation to the nurse.The nurses focus to assure the person that the nurse understands, the interpersonal meaning of the patient situation.3.Exploitation: in this phase the patient derives full value from what the nurse offers through the relationship.The patient utilizes all available resources

to move toward a goal of maximum health or functionality.Resolution: refers to the termination phase of the nurse-patient relationship. It occurs when the patients needs are met, & client can move toward new goal.Peplau further assumed that that the nurse-patient relationship fosters growth for both the nurse & client.Jean Watson: Philosophy & Science of Caring (1979 ).She believes that the practice of caring is central to nursing & it is the unifying focus for practice.Her theory is composed of ten (10) carative factors which are classified as nursing actions or caring process.Forming a humanistic-altruistic system of values.This factor relates to satisfaction through giving & extending of the sense of self.Although the values are learned early in life, but they can greatly influenced by education.Instilling Faith & Hope. Feeling of faith & hope promote wellness by helping client adopt health seeking behaviours.

Cultivating sensitivity to ones self & others.Nurses who are able to recognize & express their feelings are better able to allow others to express theirs.Developing a helping trust (human care) relationship.This kind of relationship involves effective communication, empathy & non possesive warmth.It promotes & accepts the expression of positive, & negative feelings. Expressing positive & negative feelings.Sharing feelings of sorrow, love & pain is risk taking experience. The nurse must be prepared for negative feeling.Using a creative problem-solving approach or caring process.Promoting transpersonal teaching learning.This factor separate caring from curing & shifts responsibility for wellness to the client.

Providing a supportive, protective or corrective mental, physical, socio-cultural, & spiritual environment.The nurse must asses & facilitate the clients abilities to cope with mental, emotional & physical changes.Assisting with gratification of human needs.Recognizing & attending to the physical, emotional, social, & spiritual needs of the client.Being sensitive to existential phenomenologic- spiritual forces.Existential psychology is a science of human existence that employs the method of phenomenologic analysis.Person possesses three spheres of being: mind , body, & soul.Allowing for expression of these forces leads to better understanding of self & others.Madeleine Leininger: Transcultural Care Theory (1978)The goal of transcultural nursing is to develop a scientific & humanistic body of knowledge in order to provide- culture specific & culture-universal nursing practices.She believes culture is the broadest & the most holistic means to conceptualize, understand & be effective with people.there can be no cure without caring but there may be caring without curing.Faye Abdellah (1960): Patient- Centered Approaches to Nursing Model.She defined nursing as service to individuals & families; therefore to society.She conceptualized nursing as an art & a science that molds the attitudes, intellectual competencies & technical skills of the individual nurse into the desire & ability to help people, sick or well, & cope with their health needs.

III.Nursing as an ArtCaring TheoriesPeplaus Interpersonal Nursing TheoryWatsons Philosophy & science of CaringLeinnengers Transcultural Nursing TheoryTherapeutic Use of SelfA process in which nurses deliberately plan their actions & approach the relationship with a specific goal in mind before interacting with the client.The most effective tool for demonstrating caring is not some technologically sophisticated machines with lights & alarms but rather oneself.Therapeutic use of self makes the art of nursing as different from science of nursing.This is an oppurtunity of the nurse to be with the person at a human to human level.Characteristics of therapeutic RelationshipWarmth- exhibiting positive behaviour toward a client. Respect, genuine interest, caring are all expression of warmth.Hope- means anticipating the future by helping clients look realistically at their potentials.Hope is the energy source that allows individuals to plan, act & achieve.Rapport- is a bond or connection between people that is based on mutual trust.Trust- must be present for help to be given & received. ( consistency, respect, honesty are essential in the development of trust.)Empathy understanding another perception of the situation.Acceptance- accepting client as a person & working with clients even those clients who exhibit undesirable behaviours.Active Listening- is required in every nurse-client relationship.Humor- can assist in establishing a relationship because it helps break the ice, decreases fear, & establish trust, & can help strengthen relationship.compassion- you care what happen to another person.Kindness & genuine concern are demonstrated through compassionate acts.Self Awareness- necessary to be therapeutic.Being aware of ones feeling is the first step in developing therapeutic behaviour.Self-awareness allow the nurse to remain objective, that is separate enough to distinguish ones own feelings.Non-judgmental approach- acting without biases, pre conceptions or stereotypes.Flexibility- a flexible nurse is one who is ready for the unexpected.Risk taking- the nurse must give themselves permission to try something new, to step outside the ordinary & not to be bound by tradition or fear.Phases of Nurse- Client RelationshipOrientation phase:Introductory phase, it sets the tone for the rest of the relationship.Getting to know each other & developing a degree of trust.Client may display some resistance behaviour- inhibit involvement.Assessment of client is the most important goal .Working Phase:The nurse & client begin to view each other as unique individuals.They begin to appreciate this uniqueness & begin to care about each other.Behaviours that indicate the client is in the working phase; asking questions about own problem, seeking clarification from the nurse, being attentive to instructions, asking for more information about his role in recovery.Termination Phase- is often difficult & filled with ambivalence.It focuses in evaluation of goal achievement & effectiveness of treatment.Many methods can be used to terminate relationships;Summarizing or reviewing the process can produce a sense of accomplishment.Planning for termination is actually initiated during the beginning of the relationship.
