, professional roles (1)
•Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves
the initiation of independent nursing interventions without medical orders.
Accountability means that you are responsible professionally and legally
for the type and quality of nursing care provided.
•As a caregiver, you help patients maintain and regain health and find their
maximum level of independent function through the healing process. A
patient’s health care needs include the patient’s emotional, spiritual, and
social well-being.
•As a patient advocate you protect your patient’s human and legal rights
and help patients assert those rights when needed.
•As an educator, your teaching can be formal or informal. Always use
teaching methods that match your patient’s capabilities and needs, and
incorporate other resources, such as the family, in teaching plans.
•Your effectiveness as a communicator is central to the nurse—patient
relationship. It allows you to know your patients, including their strengths,
weaknesses, and needs. You will routinely communicate with patients and
families, other nurses and health care professionals, resource people, and
the community.
•As a manager, you will establish an environment for collaborative patient-
centered care to provide safe, quality care with positive patient outcomes.
