The principles of nursing such as Autonomy, Beneficence, Fidelity, Informed consent, Integrity, Justice, Nonmaleficence, Paternalism, Veracity, as well as Privacy, and Confidentiality describe what constitutes safe and effective nursing care, and cover the aspects of behavior, attitude, and approach that underpin good care. Discuss a patient interaction in which the principle of privacy and confidentiality was breached, and why? What did you learn from this and how important is this principle in providing nursing care?
