: Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late.
: 1. The nursing code incorporates the four philosophy
: statements very nicely. The code dicusses who we are accountable
: to, the expectations of us as professionals which includes behavior
: and educational competence. The code also places expectations on how we treat
: our patients and to do so without regard to race, color,
: and religious preference. The code also holds us accountable
: for protecting our patients from unethical,illegal and
: incompetent people.
: 2.I feel that the hippocratic oath has changed over the years to take account-
: ability away from the physicians. It has lessened their
: responsiblity to the public.
