Question 1

Standardized ethical approaches help nurses to face challenging situations and make the best decision. These ethical approaches exist because the decisions that nurses make in their daily activities within the health center are complicated. As a nurse, one must use the best judgment to balance the ethical approach in a way that the decision made is the best that suits the situation. The nurse must balance the ethical approaches using ethical principles and bring out congruity in medical practice.

As nurses, we ought to experience conflict when differences between our values and those of others differ in an organization.
