Exploring Ethical Implications for Acting Faithfully in Professional Relationships

F. Beryl Pilkington, RN; PhD

Assistant Professor, School of Nursing, York University, Toronto, Canada

The obligation to act faithfully poses ethical issues as nurses live nursing from day to day. In this column, the ethics of acting faithfully is explored in relation to four scenarios drawn from different realms of professional nursing. The scenarios illustrate ethical issues that may arise when attempting to uphold personal integrity and fulfill one’s duty to act faithfully. The theoretical context of this discussion is the human becoming school of thought.

Key Words: acting faithfully • human becoming • Parse • personal integrity • professional relationships
