The death of a climber in 1996 portrayed the highest level of ignorance. People were
watched as the climber suffered alone. The climber shouted for help but no one bothered. People
looked at him and assumed he was going to die. They started requesting assistance from other
people who were not within the area of accident. The big question is: how did these people help
the injured man? Well I believe, these onlookers did not do justice for the Indian climber. As a
matter of fact, they should have given a first aid to the injured climber. This would have
minimized the impact of the injury. The nursing profession was founded on principle of service
to humanity. Such cases are in contrast with ethical principles of nursing. People may argue that
the tragic incident had nothing to do with the ethical practices of nurses. However, critical
examination shows there was a great connection between the accident and the nursing profession
(Johnstone &Megan)

Nursing is all about satisfying the human need that was essential for survival of a human
need. In this case, there was a need that was supposed to be satisfied. Human have different
needs and preferences. This creates diversity that exists between different people. However, we
are all connected by one thing-humanity. Therefore we should care about other people.
Moreover, we exist in an integrated world. This calls for universal rules as far as ethics is
concerned. Nursing is a profession that is universal. Nurses are supposed to care for humanity
and justice. They should not be driven by race, religion or any sort of affiliation that creates
injustice. This means that the nursing profession is faced with many challenges. These challenges
should be handled in a professional manner (Johnstone &Megan)
