Violation of academic integrity can lead to continued violations in the workplace
A code of ethics in organizations provides a guide for how employees should
conduct themselves
It is the nurse leader’s responsibility to integrate professional guidelines such as
the CNA’s Code of Ethics with the ethics of their health care organization (e.g.,
mission, vision, values) to offer ethical guidance to care providers,
Nurse leaders model just and caring behaviors that promote the common good for
care recipients as well as students, nursing colleagues, and other healthcare
providers and should conduct themselves with honesty and integrity
A leader is someone who uses interpersonal skills to influence others to accomplish
a goal
A manager has their own set of functions in order to accomplish the goals of the
organization
Not all leaders need to be managers!

45. Reminder: Portfolio Part 1
Assignment
DueWeek 4 on Sunday, September 24 by 11:59 PM EST
TotalValue: 15 %
1st component: E-portfolio (worth 10 % of the
assignment)
2nd component: 1-page reflection (worth 90% of the
assignment)
The CNA’s code of ethics is meant to guide Canadian nurses throughout their nursing practice
According to that code, “Nursing ethics is concerned with how broad societal issues affect health and well-being. This means that nurses endeavour to maintain an awareness of aspects of social justice that affect the social determinants of health and well- being and to advocate for improvements” (CNA, 2017, p. 3)
It is the nurse leader’s responsibility to integrate professional guidelines (e.g., CNA Code of Ethics) with the ethics of their health care organization (e.g., mission, vision, values) in order to offer ethical guidance to care providers.
Simultaneously, the nurse leader is required to critically analyze situations and take appropriate action with regard to practices that may threaten a patient’s health and safety.
Nurse leaders model just and caring behaviors that promote the common good for care recipients as well as students, nursing colleagues, and other health care providers.
Ethical behavior among workers in an organization ensures that employees complete work with honesty and integrity
Employees who use ethics to guide their behavior adhere to employee policies and rules while striving to meet the goals of the organization
Ethical employees also meet standards for the quality of their work, which can enhance the company’s reputation for quality products and services.
The organization can reinforce ethical behavior by rewarding employees who exhibit the values and integrity that coincide with the company code of ethics and disciplining those who make the wrong choices.
