Nursing ethics, legal aspects, and patient advocacy are essential pillars of nursing practice that ensure patient safety and promote trust within healthcare environments. Nursing ethics emphasizes the importance of moral principles, such as respect for patient autonomy, non-maleficence, and beneficence. Legal aspects guide nurses to understand and comply with laws and regulations that protect both patients and professionals. Patient advocacy involves advocating for patients' rights, ensuring informed consent, and safeguarding their dignity and well-being. A strong understanding of these domains equips nurses to navigate complex healthcare situations, resolve ethical dilemmas, and act as effective advocates for patients in their care.
