What do Ethics Clinical Nurse Specialists do?
Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) navigate complex healthcare ethical issues by applying the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics to patient care, staff moral distress, and healthcare systems.
They facilitate ethical decision-making, serve as advocates for nurses and patients, and promote a just and humane healthcare environment by upholding principles like autonomy, beneficence, justice, and fidelity.
CNSs are essential in resolving dilemmas, improving outcomes, and ensuring all individuals receive compassionate, equitable care that respects their dignity and rights.
What they do
Facilitating Ethical Decision-Making: CNSs help articulate moral dilemmas, facilitate discussions, and support patients, families, and healthcare teams in making choices that align with ethical principles.
Promoting Nurse Well-being: They address moral distress among staff by recognizing and resolving ethical concerns, helping to ensure clinicians can provide optimal care.
Advocacy: CNSs act as a voice for nurses and patients, advocating for patient autonomy, dignity, and the protection of their rights.
System-Level Ethical Leadership: Their expertise extends to the broader organizational environment, where they identify and help resolve system-wide ethical issues affecting the quality of care.
Ethical Principles and CNS Practice
CNSs apply core nursing ethics to their practice:
Autonomy: Respecting a patient’s right to make their own decisions about their care, even if the nurse disagrees.
Beneficence: Acting in the patient’s best interest, using skill and knowledge to promote their well-being.
Justice: Distributing healthcare fairly and treating all patients with equal respect, without bias.
Fidelity: Demonstrating commitment to ethical nursing practice, professional integrity, and the patient’s well-being.
Accountability: Taking responsibility for their actions and upholding professional and ethical standards.
Why Ethical Practice is Important
Optimal Patient Outcomes: A strong ethical framework enables nurses to make informed decisions, resulting in the best possible care for patients.
Professional Integrity: Ethical conduct maintains the integrity and moral traditions of the nursing profession.
Addressing Modern Challenges: The evolving healthcare landscape presents new ethical dilemmas in areas such as end-of-life care, informed consent, and health equity, which CNSs are well-equipped to navigate.
