West Coast University Nursing Advocate Paper

Choose a

patient-care situation in which the RN should intervene and advocate 

for the patient.  An example of such a situation might be when a patient

has not been given complete informed consent.

Include the following in your paper:

• Describe the clinical situation concisely and descriptively. It can be an actual situation or a hypothetical one.
• Apply the Bioethical Decision Making Model to the specific clinical ethical situation that you choose. Address each section of the model in your paper.
• Conclude with a discussion of nursing advocacy in the clinical setting and the nurse’s role as a patient advocate.
