Introduction Nursing students are exposed to ethically challenging conditions in their future workplaces; hence, they must be ethically knowledgeable and morally sensitive to provide patients with holistic care based on sound ethical decision-making skills. Objectives: This study aimed to assess nursing students’ perception of their academic ethical awareness and moral sensitivity and determine the relationship between these variables. Methods: We conducted a descriptive correlational research study with a convenient sample of nursing students (N = 246) in a Saudi University nursing college. Data were collected using the Academic Ethical Awareness Questionnaire and Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire. We used descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and regression analyses. Results: Nursing students exhibited moderate academic ethical awareness and moral sensitivity. The regression analysis showed that academic ethical awareness can substantially predict 28.8% of the explained moral sensitivity variance ( p < 0.001). Nursing students were aware that the violation of patients’ respect or confidentiality and cheating in examinations were unethical behaviors. However, they showed low ethical awareness toward plagiarism behaviors. Furthermore, they reported higher moral sensitivity for patient-oriented care and professional responsibility and did not experience conflict. Academic level and integrated classroom and clinical learning experiences seemed to positively impact students’ academic ethical awareness. Conclusion: The findings provide a basis for monitoring nursing students’ professional misconduct so that they maintain integrity and adhere to academic ethics guidelines. Constant exertions for fostering nursing ethics courses with inspiring learning content and innovative instructional material are vital in improving nursing students’ academic integrity and ethical care.

Why does professional misconduct persist in the face of media scrutiny? In this study, we explain how professional norms can be at odds with societal norms and how the behaviours they trigger can be perceived as misconduct. Most audiences tend to disapprove of wrongdoings, but specific stakeholders may interpret this disapproval as an indication of the focal organization’s level of adherence to professional norms. Building on mixed methods, we explore the case of the investment banking industry during the financial crisis and suggest that corporate customers were favourably biased by the reporting of banks’ misconduct in the print media as they linked it to the banks’ quality of service. We capture the extent to which banks are associated with misconduct, signalling their adherence to negatively perceived professional norms. We then look at how such signalling affects the likelihood for banks to be invited into initial public offerings syndicates. Our findings show that the more banks are disapproved of for their wrongdoings, the more likely they are to be selected to join a syndicate. This study suggests that the coverage of misconduct can actually act as a positive signal providing banks with incentives to engage in what is broadly perceived as professional misconduct.

The Subject

There are few authors focused on the study of preparing manuals criteria, often criticized for methodological rigor of the information. However, it is interesting to understand what is going wrong; to understand prognosis in self-handling; in prevention of complications; in identifying better services and information; in encouraging the pursuit of excellence in the healthcare. In its preparation should be valued the basic requirements of a manual, which are: 1) wrote in simple words, being concise, efficient, clear with index or table of contents; 2) using the existing institutional rules; 3) being flexible; and 4) having ongoing process of review, update and distribution. In the process of evaluation of Medicine III manuals may have the following stratification: M4 - 100 points: when there is ISBN registration and disclosure in other languages; M3 - 75 points: registration with the ISBN only in our country; M2 - 50 points: registered in regional libraries; M1 - 25 points: manual use for inter-departmental or intra-institutional groups; M0 - 0 point: use of manual in intra-departmental teaching. In conclusion, it is known that the use of manuals is focused to the ones who do not know the subject; however, it is also an important tool that can minimize errors, avoid professional misconduct, optimize resources, and at the end allowing assessment of the subject at hand.

The Supreme Court

In the period 1989–1991 the Medical Tribunal in the state of New South Wales conducted enquiries into seven complaints about professional misconduct of a sexual nature incidental to psychiatric treatment. This study is submitted in the interests of patients, profession and public in accordance with the ethos of the Medical Practitioners Act (NSW). It is based on personal observations and published legal documents and refers to the legal context and procedures. It addresses the substance and style of complaints and complainants and of defences and respondents. The names of six psychiatrists and one trainee psychiatrist were removed from the Medical Register. In three instances decisions or orders were unsuccessfully appealed in the Supreme Court. In two instances associated complaints (of illicitly prescribing drugs of addiction and of divulging confidential information) were also found to be professional misconduct. Courtroom pitfalls are illustrated and practical principles explicit in judgements are reiterated.

History Of

When negligence thwarts parental efforts to select for socially salient traits like sex, race, and disability, compensation risks cutting against public safety or morality. Mandated cash payments for the wrongful defeat of attempts to choose a child to be deaf or male or white have the potential to undermine public commitments to newborn health, gender balance, or racial equality. This chapter argues that these concerns will only under exceptional circumstances rule out any remedy for confounded procreation. Even in rare cases for which recovery is not valid but void, courts should still grant nominal damages for generalized reproductive injuries—to deter professional misconduct and vindicate broader interests in offspring selection. In cases involving the failure to screen or diagnose some offspring condition, it’s not just private individuals or couples deciding what’s best for their own lives. Tort awards can impart an existential insult to people whose conditions were singled out for elimination—that verdict reflects the binding conclusion that the judge or jury reaches in view of specific facts and applicable law. But that expressive power shouldn’t immunize professional wrongdoing that thwarts eccentric offspring selection. Concerns about “quality control” are essentially contested—whether framed in terms of parental love or playing God, these visions of reproductive restraint don’t reflect social consensus. The not-so-distant history of racial ordering across family units comes closer to voiding complaints for confounded race. But courts should still provide limited recovery, with explicit caveats—to affirm generic interests in offspring selection, while disclaiming any racial component.
