    COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING 1 SESSION # 5


    LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW

    Instruction: Enumerate the scope of nursing practice of a public health nurse under R.A No 9173.

    - SEC. 28. Scope of Nursing. — A person shall be deemed to be practicing nursing within the
    meaning of this Act when he/she singly or in collaboration with another, initiates and performs
    nursing services to individuals, families and communities in any health care setting. It includes,
    but not limited to, nursing care during conception, labor, delivery, infancy, childhood, toddler,
    pre-school, school age, adolescence, adulthood and old age. As independent practitioners,
    nurses are primarily responsible for the promotion of health and prevention of illness. As
    members of the health team, nurses shall collaborate with other health care providers for the
    curative, preventive, and rehabilitative aspects of care, restoration of health, alleviation of
    suffering, and when recovery is not possible, towards a peaceful death.

    CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING

    1. A

    RATIO: Stated under the Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 are the ethical principles for professional nursing
    practice in a clinical setting.

    2. C

    RATIO: The principle of justice could be described as the moral obligation to act on the basis of fair
    adjudication between competing claims. As such, it is linked to fairness, entitlement and equality. In
    health care ethics, this can be subdivided into three categories: fair distribution of scarce resources
    (distributive justice), respect for people’s rights (rights-based justice) and respect for morally acceptable
    laws (legal justice) (Gillon, 1994).

    3. D

    RATIO: The nurse signature shows that the client has signed the form and the witness saw it being done.

    4. A

    RATIO: Informed consent is defined as the patient's choice to have a treatment or procedure which is
    based on their full understanding of the treatment or procedure. For consent to be considered valid: it
    must be an appointed guardianship; also the patient must have the mental capacity to consent. The
    patient must be properly informed.
    5. D

    RATIO: Option d: This option is correct because it is making sense that is will be correct ethically.

    6. C

    RATIO: Civil law is a set of law which is concerned with the private affairs of citizens. For example, the
    citizen's right to refuse treatment is a private affair that is under the civil law.

    7. B

    RATIO: The physician should obtain informed consent.

    8. B

    RATIO: The nurse must explain the nursing care and process before the treatment or procedure to allow
    the patient to think and refuse the procedure.

    9. A

    RATIO: The philosophy sometimes called the code of ethics of care suggests that ethical dilemmas can
    best be solved by attention to relationships.

    10. C

    RATIO: The nurse along the treatment time will develop a relationship to the client that is unique among
    all professional health care providers.
