    Is this homework?

    This is not a difficult question. Think about it. Would you want a nurse taking care of you without any code of ethics?

    So like... Keep all patient information confidential, Maintain a safe environment for the patients, Treat the patients with respect and respect their choice of culture and beliefs, Speak to patients in a truthful and accurate manner, Being faithful and keeping your promises, Give compassionate and professional care to clients, Take responsibility for your own actions, Attempt to improve the quality of nursing, Protect the health, right, and safety of the patient
