Discussion: Standards of Moral Legal Conduct
Question Description
Reflection Assignment 2: Meeting Essential VIII
Reflect on ethical principles and your understanding of ethical decision-making frameworks as they have evolved during your RN-BSN program at WCU this week. Determine specific ethical standards and moral behavior codes. How does your academic work support evidence that you have met the following criteria?
Professionalism and Professional Values are Essential VIII.
Outcome #1: Demonstrate professional moral, ethical, and legal conduct.
Examine your previous academic work, assess your effectiveness in meeting this program requirement, and consider the impact this proficiency will have on your future.
Describe how you met the essential by specifically referencing the assignment(s) in your response. In addition, consider and connect your academic experience to real-world applications.
Display your academic work related to this essential and these outcomes in your ePortfolio and reference it directly in your reflection
response.
Recommended: To gather academic examples and evidence of having met this essential, refer to work you completed for NURS 521 Ethics in Health Care and NURS 510 Policy, Organization, and Financing of Health Care, as well as other courses.
Your reflection should be 1 1/2 to 2 pages long and formatted in APA style. Cite and reference any sources you use.
(Use the attached Power Point presentation about:
Nursing Process, Ethical and Legal Principles, Management, and a discussion of ethical quandaries in nursing)
You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
