Ethical and Legal Considerations for APN Practice

Synthesize the following aspects of the APRN:

1.  Describe the core concepts of ethical considerations that APNs must know to be effective in their healthcare practice.

2.  Demonstrate how those ethical considerations can affect the decision making process. Include examples.

3.  At the conclusion of your paper, create an original scenario of an ethical dilemma that you have experienced or had knowledge of within your local nursing community. This scenario will form the basis for week 7 discussions.

Submit a 4-5-page paper in APA format. Support your paper with evidence found using 2-3 citations from 2-3 nursing articles written within the last 5 years, from scholarly and peer reviewed online journals of nursing.
