Article I:
Registered nurses believe that health is a fundamental right and responsibility, and they
recognize that it is the nurse's primary responsibility to promote health, prevent illness, alleviate
suffering, and restore health when possible. If this is not possible, the nurse has an obligation to
assist a client in dying in a peaceful and dignified manner. Registered nurses need to be well-
informed about cultural, social, psychological, and ecological factors relating to health in order
to provide effective care. Cultural diversity and political and socioeconomic status are inherent
factors that can influence care. Registered nurses also want to be respected and have confidence
in their work, and this desire provides an incentive to maintain high ethical standards.
Article II:
Individuals should be free to make their own decisions and should be treated with respect. Their
personal information should be kept confidential, and care should be taken to consider the
cultural and spiritual beliefs of patients when providing nursing care. However, if there are
conflicts between the welfare of the individual and their spiritual beliefs or customs, the
individual's safety takes precedence.
Article III:
Human life is sacred and untouchable. The standards of nursing practice are quality and
perfection in patient care. Nursing accountability is characterized by accurate recording of the
procedures followed and the results of the care provided.

Act of 2002," and Board Res. The "Rules and Regulations Implementing the Philippine Nursing

and strives to maintain the respect and reputation of nursing and other professions. When making
comments or criticisms about colleagues, the Registered Nurse is careful to do so in a
professional and respectful manner.
Article V:
Registered Nurses should have a commitment to preserving life, respecting human rights, and
promoting healthy environments. They should also be involved in community concerns and be
aware of their obligations as citizens. They should lead their lives in accordance with the
principles of right conduct and proper decorum, and project an image that will uplift the nursing
profession.

Article VI:
The nursing profession has high ideals of loyalty to its members and preserving their integrity, as
well as complying with ethical standards set by professional organizations. Nurses are also
expected to be active in the growth and development of their profession, and to contribute to the
improvement of socio-economic conditions and welfare of nurses in general.
