The Center develops policy designed to address issues in ethics and human rights at the state, national, and international levels. Through its highly visible information, activities, and programs, the Center promotes the ethical competence and human rights sensitivity of nurses in all practice settings and demonstrates ANA’s abiding commitment to human rights.</p> <p><a title="2020 Center for Ethics and Human Rights Annual Report" href="/globalassets/practiceandpolicy/nursing-excellence/2020-center-for-ethics-and-human-rights-annual-report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020 Center for Ethics and Human Rights Annual Report</a><br /><a title="2018 Center for Ethics and Human Rights Annual Report" href="/globalassets/practiceandpolicy/nursing-excellence/2019-ana-cehr-annual-report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2019 Center for Ethics and Human Rights Annual Report</a><br /><a title="2018 Center for Ethics and Human Rights Annual Report" href="/globalassets/practiceandpolicy/nursing-excellence/2018-center-for-ethics-and-human-rights-annual-report-final-compressed.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018 Center for Ethics and Human Rights Annual Report</a><br /><a href="/globalassets/practiceandpolicy/nursing-excellence/center-for-ethics-and-human-rights-2017-annual-report-5.compressed.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2017 Center for Ethics and Human Rights Annual Report</a></p> <p>Contact the Center of Ethics and Human Rights at <a href="mailto:ethics@ana.org">ethics@ana.org</a></p> <p><a class="e-button--white" href="/practice-policy/nursing-excellence/ethics/about-the-center/">READ MORE ABOUT THE CENTER FOR ETHICS AND HUMAN RIGHTS</a></p> <h3>The Code</h3> <p><em>The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements,</em> or “The Code”, is a vital tool for nurses now and in the future. While the foundational values of nursing do not change, The Code is regularly updated to reflect changes in health care structure, financing, and delivery. It supports nurses in providing consistently respectful, humane, and dignified care. These values are often second nature to nurses’ caregiving but are frequently challenged by the failings in U.S. health care and by negative social determinants of health.</p> <p>The Code, consisting of nine provisions and their accompanying interpretive statements:</p> <ul> <li>Provides a succinct statement of the ethical values, obligations, and duties of every individual who enters the nursing profession;</li> <li>Serves as the profession’s nonnegotiable ethical standard; and</li> <li>Expresses nurses' own understanding of our commitment to society.</li> </ul> <p>The Code is particularly valuable in today’s healthcare environment because it clearly and eloquently reiterates the fundamental values and commitments of the nurse (Provisions 1–3), identifies the boundaries of duty and loyalty (Provisions 4–6), and describes the duties of the nurse that extend beyond individual patient encounters (Provisions 7–9).</p> <p>To serve as the most useful aid in challenging situations, The Code's interpretive statements provide specific guidance for practice. The statements respond to the contemporary context of nursing and recognize the larger scope of nursing’s concern for societal health.</p> <p><em>The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements</em> is the social contract that nurses have with the U.S. public. It exemplifies our profession's promise to provide and advocate for safe, quality care for all patients and communities. It binds nurses to support each other so that all nurses can fulfill their ethical and professional obligations. This Code is a reflection of the proud ethical heritage of nursing; one which will continue on, whatever challenges the modern health care system presents.</p> <p><a class="e-button--white"

Cipriano, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, and ANA Chief Executive Officer Marla J. Weston, PhD, RN, FAAN, in signing on to the Health Professionals' Pledge Against Torture.</p> <p>Physicians for Human Rights launched a pledge May 18 for health professionals across the United States to stand together in their rejection of torture, voicing the consensus that torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment are absolutely prohibited in all circumstances. Already the list of signers includes Nobel laureates in medicine, former surgeons general, prison physicians, leaders of health professional organizations, and medical ethicists who pledge never to collude in torture under any circumstances, in keeping with the ethical codes of their professions.</p> <p>By uniting in large numbers behind the pledge, nurses and other health care professionals send a strong message to policymakers, health professional associations and the American public that future attempts to enlist health professionals in the design, study or use of practices that result in severe physical or mental abuse will not be tolerated. The pledge also serves as a declaration of support for health professionals who resist orders to torture or inflict harm.</p> <p>For more than a decade, PHR and its network of partners have led efforts advocating against torture, documented the devastating long-term health consequences of torture, and called attention to the complicity of some health professionals in the post-9/11 U.S. torture program.</p> <p>“At a time when human rights are increasingly under threat, we’ve launched this pledge to marshal the powerful voices of health professionals across the United States and reaffirm their ethical duties to honor human dignity,” said PHR Executive Director Donna McKay.</p> <p><a href="/practice-policy/nursing-excellence/ethics/code-of-ethics-for-nurses/">ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements</a> is essential to nursing practice, and the national association has a long history of human rights advocacy.

The courses are typically offered in a block over two days.</p> <p><a title="http://bioethics.northwestern.edu/programs/epec/" href="http://bioethics.northwestern.edu/programs/epec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Education in Palliative and End of Life Care (EPEC)</a> <br />EPEC was originally developed as physician education but has expanded. It has both in-seat and online programs. The model includes the training of facilitators. Sessions may be given in day-long formats, or in shorter sessions, such as grand rounds.</p> <h4>Professional Organizations</h4> <p><a href="https://advancingexpertcare.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hospice & Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA)<br /></a>HPNA has the mission of advancing expert care in serious illness. HPNA is the professional organization for palliative care nurses and hospice nurses. HPNA provides education and certification for nurses across levels, including Advance Practice Registered Nurses (APRN), Registered Nurses (RN), RN Pediatrics, and more. HPNA has many Special Interest Groups (SIGs) with online discussion groups. The organization has also developed a series of position statements to guide professional practice. With The American Academy of Hospice & Palliative Medicine (AAHPM), HPNA has an annual assembly for professionals.</p> <p><a title="http://aahpm.org/" href="https://aahpm.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The American Academy of Hospice & Palliative Medicine (AAHPM)<br /></a>AAHPM is the professional organization for hospice physicians, palliative medicine physicians, and other health care professionals (nurses, social workers, chaplains, etc.) in these fields.

They have developed Standards of Practice and have several position statements.</p> <p><a title="http://www.theschwartzcenter.org/supporting-caregivers/schwartz-center-rounds/" href="http://www.theschwartzcenter.org/supporting-caregivers/schwartz-center-rounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Schwartz Center</a> <br />The Schwartz Center is another organization whose goal is to improve the care of patients who are dying. One of their best known efforts is Schwartz Center Rounds, which are intended as a regularly scheduled forum for caregivers to discuss the challenges of caring for patients and families. Schwartz Center Rounds are currently held in about 550 centers in the U.S., U.K., and Canada.</p> <h4>Hospice</h4> <p>Hospice is a model of care for people who are at the end of life. Specifically, hospice care is eligible for people who are estimated to have a prognosis of six months or less. Hospice is tremendously underutilized, with about 50% of patients having a length of stay of less than 18 days, as opposed to the approximately 180 days of the hospice benefit. Misperceptions about hospice are common. A common misunderstanding is that hospice is a place (“She’s going to hospice”), rather than a model of care. Greater than 90% of hospice care occurs in patients’ homes.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cms.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services </a><br />This resource explaining the hospice guidelines is helpful for patients, families, and providers.</p> <p><a title="http://www.elderlawanswers.com/medicares-hospice-benefit-little-known-little-used-3258" href="http://www.elderlawanswers.com/medicares-hospice-benefit-little-known-little-used-3258" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elder Law Answers</a> <br />This resource from Elder Law Answer is used to make the Medicare Hospice Benefit more comprehensible.</p> </div> </div> </section></div><div class="block accordionitemblock grid__item one-whole large--two-thirds pad--large--one-third hasnav"> <section class="e-accordion__item" data-require="./src/views/accordion-item-view" data-collapse-panel="true" data-gtm-event-action="/practice-policy/nursing-excellence/ethics/" data-gtm-event-label="Related Resources" > <a class="e-accordion__toggle" href="#" data-accordion-toggle> <h2 class="e-accordion__toggle-title">Related Resources</h2> </a> <div class="e-accordion__item-content" data-accordion-content> <div class="e-richtext"> <ul> <li><a href="/globalassets/docs/ana/ethics/ps_nursing-care-and-do-not-resuscitate--allow-natural-death.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Do Not Resuscitate Orders: Nurse's Role Requires Moral Courage</a></li> <li><a href="/globalassets/docs/ana/ethics/lvad-deactivation-ethical-issues.pdf">Left Ventricular Assist Device Deactivation: Ethical Issues</a></li> <li><a href="/globalassets/docs/ana/ethics/nurses-role-in-increasing-access-to-hospice.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nurses Role in Increasing Access to Hospice</a></li> <li><a href="/globalassets/docs/ana/ethics/physician-assisted-suicide.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Physician-Assisted</a><a href="/globalassets/docs/ana/ethics/physician-assisted-suicide.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Suicide</a></li> <li><a href="/globalassets/docs/ana/ethics/voluntary-stopping-of-eating-and-drinking-an-ethical-alternative-to-pas.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Voluntary Stopping of Eating and Drinking?: An Ethical Alternative to PAS</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </section></div></div></div></div></div><div class="block editorialblock hasnav"> <section class="grid-constraint"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item large--two-thirds pad--large--one-third"> <h2 > Caregiving Resources </h2> <div class="e-richtext"> <p>Nurses frequently come into contact with caregivers and can provide vital support to individuals who may not come into regular contact with others due to the often all-consuming nature of providing care.
