Due December 16

Legal and Ethical Implications

You have recognized a problem change is needed in your practice or organization, but before you can begin implementing your plan for change, have you considered the legal and ethical implications of this implementation?

Patient rights, legal parameters, privacy issues, and other legal and ethical concerns must be identified and reviewed before implementation occurs. Your role, as a nurse leader, requires you to consider, manage, and abide by all ethical and legal implications that may arise associated with your practice change implementation.

For this Discussion, consider your practice change implementation and identify any legal and ethical implications that may need to be addressed. How will you manage these implications? How will you abide by these requirements?
