From ethical dilemmas to health care reform, ANA works to ensure that no matter what the challenge - nursing continues to improve health care for all.</p> <h3>Tackling ethical issues together</h3> <p>Nursing has always been synonymous with compassion, but nurses today face increasingly complex ethical issues. Through the work of the ANA Center for Ethics and Human Rights, ANA empowers nurses to navigate difficult moral situations and fulfill their ethical obligation to society.</p> <p><a class="e-button--blue" href="/practice-policy/nursing-excellence/ethics/about-the-center/">FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE ANA CENTeR FOR ETHICS AND HUMAN RIGHTS</a></p> <p>For a definitive guide on ethical issues,&nbsp;<em>The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements</em>, or &ldquo;The Code&rdquo; is a must-have for every nurse.

ANA represents all nurses, and is committed to recognizing the different barriers that individual nurse&rsquo;s face.</p> <p>Scope of practice barriers affect nurses across all specialties and practice sites. ANA believes that patients&rsquo; interests are best served by a wide range of health care professionals working together to deliver safe, effective, and affordable care. By protecting and advancing scope of practice, ANA empowers nurses to deliver nursing excellence and lead health care change.</p> <p><a class="e-button--blue" href="/practice-policy/scope-of-practice/">FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SCOPE OF PRACTICE FOR NURSES</a></p> <h3>Eliminating Manual Patient Handling to Reduce Work-Related Injuries</h3> <p>Through Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) programs and advocacy, ANA is working to establish a safe environment for nurses, with the complete elimination of manual patient handling as our goal. The Safe Patient Handling and Mobility Standards 2nd edition communicates the continued need for standardized SPHM programs and resources, and re-ignite SPHM discussions and improvements. It highlights eight overarching standards including culture of safety, SPHM technology, and comprehensive evaluation system.</p> <p><a href="/nurses-books/safe-patient-handling-and-mobility-2nd-edition2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="e-button--blue">Buy the Revised SPHM Standards</span></a></p> <h3>Standing by our principles</h3> <p>ANA guides the profession on issues of nursing practice, health policy, and social concerns that impact patient wellbeing.
