Nursing Legal And Ethics PowerPoint
Introduction
As nurses we are all, no doubt, very aware of the myriad of legal and ethical issues in any health care setting. We are familiar with licensing for health care professionals, perhaps carry our own malpractice insurance, and have been cautioned by our employing institutions to always follow policy and procedures.

Nursing education is no different; there are specific legal and ethical issues that are of concern to nurse educators. Some of the specific areas of which nurses working in education need to be well aware include the following:
- Faculty rights and responsibilities.
- Student rights.
- Clinical evaluation of students.
- Academic dishonesty.
- Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
In addition, it is also important to understand the responsibility of faculty regarding information about students. This is important for both academic faculty and for clinical faculty supervising students in clinical areas.
As in clinical practice, documentation of concerns and issues that arise in educational settings can be very important.

In this assessment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that you could use to teach a group about a legal or ethical issue related to nursing or nursing education. To do so, you will select a case from the Nursing Education Legal and Ethical Scenarios | Transcript media piece to be your focus.
- Review the case and take time to reflect on the change that needs to occur and the group that you will be addressing.
- Research what the group needs to know to improve the legal or ethical situation that has occurred.
- Use a minimum of seven references, a minimum of five of which should come from peer- reviewed sources.
As you conduct research, synthesize information that will be needed to evoke a change in the situation.
