Page 56: Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD.1 Ethics Elements - Serious Thoughts in a Cartoon - 3rd part: applications 2006 Margot Phaneuf, inf., Ph.D

We must not forget that our professional competence must

constantly be nourished by continuing education

(Div. I, art. 4.18)

Page 57: Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD.1 Ethics Elements - Serious Thoughts in a Cartoon - 3rd part: applications 2006 Margot Phaneuf, inf., Ph.D

Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD. 57

So I must keep my knowledge up-to-date in order to give

care which is up to the recognized standards of practice.

(Div.I, art. 4.18)

Good gracious…!

Page 58: Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD.1 Ethics Elements - Serious Thoughts in a Cartoon - 3rd part: applications 2006 Margot Phaneuf, inf., Ph.D

But there is something more! As much as possible, the nurse must share

her knowledge with her colleagues and with the students…

(Div.I, art. 1.8)

This is not so widely known!

Page 59: Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD.1 Ethics Elements - Serious Thoughts in a Cartoon - 3rd part: applications 2006 Margot Phaneuf, inf., Ph.D

I am really astonished!!!!

Page 60: Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD.1 Ethics Elements - Serious Thoughts in a Cartoon - 3rd part: applications 2006 Margot Phaneuf, inf., Ph.D

Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD. 60

Gosh!

It is not all! Our professional standards

must reflect nursing responsability to society. Thus, we may deduct from our

ethical principles that the nurse must maintain a state of personal health such

that the quality of care is not compromised and that the health of

patients is not at risk.

Page 61: Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD.1 Ethics Elements - Serious Thoughts in a Cartoon - 3rd part: applications 2006 Margot Phaneuf, inf., Ph.D

But there is an other dimension. Interprofessional relations

are sometimes stormy. But we must respect each other and

make ourselves respected!!

I want to assert my point of view !

I want to be respected too!!!

Page 62: Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD.1 Ethics Elements - Serious Thoughts in a Cartoon - 3rd part: applications 2006 Margot Phaneuf, inf., Ph.D

It is better to establish harmonious and constructive relations with

the other professionals!

Page 63: Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD.1 Ethics Elements - Serious Thoughts in a Cartoon - 3rd part: applications 2006 Margot Phaneuf, inf., Ph.D

Collaboration is better than competition.

And the nurse cannot refuse to collaborate with another

professional (Div. III, art. 2.46)

Page 64: Margot Phaneuf Inf. PhD.1 Ethics Elements - Serious Thoughts in a Cartoon - 3rd part: applications 2006 Margot Phaneuf, inf., Ph.D

All that is fine forpatient care, but if I do research,

am I concerned by the Code of Ethics?

For sure! There are special articles for
