An instrument to measure professional nursing values.

PURPOSE: To describe the Nursing Professional Values Scale (NPVS), its development, reliability and validity, and its derivation from the Code of Ethics of the American Nurses Association. DESIGN: The NPVS was tested on 599 subjects, including baccalaureate and masters' students and practicing nurses. The students were enrolled in one of 25 programs selected at random from all NLN accredited programs in the United States. Practicing nurses were randomly selected from a State Board of Nursing list. METHOD: A 44-item, norm-referenced instrument with a Likert-scale format was tested. The responses of participants to this instrument were subjected to principal axis factor analysis with varimax rotation. FINDINGS: Eight factors were identified, accounting for 58% of the total variance. The two major factors were Caregiving and Activism. CONCLUSIONS: Initial results showed a high level of reliability and validity for the NPVS. The NPVS is a useful instrument for measuring professional nursing values and enhancing professional socialization.

What the codes say on life safety. Room smoke detectors for nursing homes.

The American Health Care Association will continue to monitor proposed new requirements in the code-making process, and will particularly concentrate on establishing a uniformity among the standards and determining the necessity for new requirements based on documentation of need. In so doing, AHCA's primary goal is to ensure a facility environment that enables residents and staff to function effectively in life-threatening situations.

Ethics in critical care in nursing.

The ANA Code for Nurses requires ethical behavior from all practitioners of nursing. As such, it serves to safeguard the public from unethical nurses. However, the code cannot and does not give direction in all situations nurses encounter in practice. Nurses require more assistance to meet the ethical requirements of professional practice. Careful exploration of moral principles and theories affords the nurse a broad background and some specific insights into morality and moral decision making. However, even this knowledge does not allow any nurse to put her ethical self "on automatic" while she appeals to one or another of these principles to support what she decides to do. No moral theory or principle is absolute. None can be used exclusively to resolve the many ethical questions nurses face. A nurse must use the process of reflective equilibrium to balance her own moral convictions and her background beliefs with accepted moral theories and principles, in order to reach sound moral judgements.
