1.

2. Nurses avoid any behaviours including promoting private or business interests that place their
personal gain ahead of their professional responsibilities.
3.

the appropriate people and managing it ethically.
4.
, Nurses fully and accurately disclose, to the appropriate persons, any relationships, affiliations,
financial interests or personal interests that may create a conflict of interest.
5. Nurses follow BCCNM's Bylaws when they advertise or promote professional services or products.
6.

judgment when considering their acceptance.
7.

the organization sponsoring the professional activity.
Nurses are responsible and accountable for documenting in the client record the care they
personally provide to the client. Care provided by others should ordinarily be documented by those
individuals, unless there are exceptional circumstances such as an emergency.
Nurses document a decision-making process (e.g., assessment, nursing diagnosis,
planning, implementation and evaluation) to show the care they provided.
Nurses document information or concerns reported to another health care provider and that
provider's response.
Nurses document in a clear, concise, factual, objective, timely, and legible manner.
Nurses document all relevant information about clients in chronological order in the client record.
Nurses document at the time they provide care or as soon as possible afterward. Nurses clearly
mark any late entries, recording both the date and time of the late entry and of the actual event.
Nurses correct any documentation errors in a timely, honest, and forthright manner.
