25 Feb ASSIGNMENT: ETHICAL CONCERNS

ASSIGNMENT: ETHICAL CONCERNS
As an advanced practice nurse, you will run into situations where a patient’s wishes about his or her health conflict with evidence, your own experience, or a family’s wishes. This may create an ethical dilemma. What do you do when these situations occur?
In this Assignment, you will explore evidence-based practice guidelines and ethical considerations for specific scenarios.
