EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
In Nigeria, nurses address complex ethical and human rights issues on a regular basis, the Nursing Practice first initiated the code of ethics for nurses in 1985 to delineate the code of responsibilities and conduct expected of nurses in their practice. Nurses are held responsible to comply with the standards of ethical practice and to ensure that other nurses also comply. The code was revised in 2001 to include issues of advancing nursing science and is based on the opinions and experience of a wide range of nurses. The approved nine provisions that address ethical practice issues such as compassion and respect, the nurse's primary commitment to the patient, patient advocacy, responsibility and accountability, duties, participation in the healthcare environment, advancement of the profession, and collaboration (Law of the Federation of Nigeria 2015).
In a study on “Awareness of Nurses on Legal and Ethical Aspects of Nursing in Selected Hospitals of Lalitpur by Maharjan, Thapa, & Maharjan (2019), it was discovered that nurses are highly vulnerable to facing ethical and legal issues as they deal with human life and death. The study showed that knowledge of nurses in ethical and legal aspects is unsatisfying which is further increasing ethical dilemmas and legal issues in health sector.
