Ethics in Advanced Practice & Research Credits: 3

Catalog description

Advanced nursing practice, ethics, and research are intricately connected. This course is designed to explore the content necessary to apply ethical principles to complex issues encountered in advanced nursing practice. Essential ethical principles include assuring the common good through the continual presence of respect for human dignity, autonomy, beneficence, and distributive justice, as those apply to the integration of advanced practice and research. Graduate prepared nurses are responsible for impacting individual care, the care of populations, and environmental health, therefore advocacy for social justice and ethical health care policy are also discussed.
