    So far, she is happy with how the process has worked. “Our board members told me that laying the groundwork ahead of time and having staff and the facilitator there gave them precious time to work on governance,” she says. “I think the committee formed by NCSBN did a very good job developing this toolkit, and if other boards use it they will find it very beneficial.” Learn more about the EO succession toolkit today (Member login and password required).

    Provision 3 of the Code of Ethics for Nurses states that the nurse promotes, advocates for and protects the rights, health and safety of the patient (ANA, 2015). Another ethical principle is nonmaleficence, or “do no harm.” AI should not be harmful but should support the principle of beneficence or “doing good.” Patient safety is predominant in nursing care, and nurses play a fundamental role in upholding this essential principle through the planning, implementation and delivery of safe nursing care. While providing quality, patient-centered care, nurses often make difficult decisions and must account for numerous patient-specific factors.
